Abstract: A messaging system for exchanging data over a network, configuring an intermediate connection tier system that provides a multi-tier connections messaging framework. The intermediate connection tier system generates, based on the contact data of a user, an intermediate tier of connected user accounts. Each account in the intermediate tier of connected user accounts is provided with messaging privileges with respect to the account of the user, without being associated with expanded access connection tier links, sometimes referred to as friendship links, between their respective accounts with respect to the account of the user.

Abstract: The subject technology receives at least one signal from a computing device, the at least one signal comprising at least one of a current time, battery power, sensor information, or location information. The subject technology generates a digital sticker, the digital sticker including graphical content indicating information based at least in part based on the at least one signal and media content including an image of a target face, the image of the target face being modified based on at least one of sets of source pose parameters to mimic at least one of positions of a head of a source actor and at least one of facial expressions of the source actor. The subject technology provides augmented reality content for display on a computing device, the augmented reality content including the digital sticker as an overlay on at least a portion of the augmented reality content.

Abstract: A methodology for training a machine learning model to generate color-neutral input face images is described. For each training face image from a training dataset that is used for training the model, the training system generates an input face image, which has the color and lighting of a randomly selected image from the set of color source images, and which has facial features and expression of a face object from the training face image. Because, during training, the machine learning model is “confused” by changing the color and lighting of a training face image to a randomly selected different color and lighting, the trained machine learning model generates a color neutral embedding representing facial features from the training face image.

Abstract: In some embodiments, users' experience of engaging with augmented reality technology is enhanced by providing a process, referred to as face animation synthesis, that replaces an actor's face in the frames of a video with a user's face from the user's portrait image. The resulting face in the frames of the video retains the facial expressions, as well as color and lighting, of the actor's face but, at the same time, has the likeness of the user's face. An example face animation synthesis experience can be made available to uses of a messaging system by providing a face animation synthesis augmented reality component.

Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a context surfacing system that provides context surfacing functionality in collections. The context surfacing system is configured to surface information representing a context object associated with a collection as a context string in a cell that represents the collection in a collections user interface. A cell that represents the collection in a collections user interface is actionable to cause presentation of the set of media content items in the collection on a display device of the viewer.

Abstract: A personalized preview system to receive a request to access a collection of media items from a user of a user device. Responsive to receiving the request to access the collection of media items, the personalized preview system accesses user profile data associated with the user, wherein the user profile data includes an image. For example, the image may comprise a depiction of a face, wherein the face comprises a set of facial landmarks. Based on the image, the personalized preview system generates one or more media previews based on corresponding media templates and the image, and displays the one or more media previews within a presentation of the collection of media items at a client device of the user.

Abstract: A method starts with a processor receiving a content collection from a second computing device associated with a second user. A processor detects input of text data from a text interface overlaid on top of a display of the content collection and analyzes the text data to identify a first characteristic within the text data. The processor also accessing a plurality of personalized avatars associated with a respective avatar characteristic and determines a selection of personalized avatars that match the first characteristic by comparing the first characteristic against the respective avatar characteristic associated with each of the plurality of personalize avatars. The processor then generates a personalized avatar interface which includes the selection of personalized avatars containing an avatar characteristic that matches the first characteristic, overlays the selection of personalized avatars on the display of the content collection, and communicates a selected personalized avatar to the second computing device.
