    Abstract: With Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), facial alignment networks (FAN) have achieved significant accuracy on a wide range of public datasets, which comes along with larger model size and expensive computation costs, making it infeasible to adapt them to real-time applications on edge devices. There is provided a model compression approach on FAN using One-Shot Neural Architecture Search to overcome this problem while preserving performance criteria. Methods and devices provide efficient training and searching (on a single GPU), and resultant models can deploy to run real-time in browser-based applications on edge devices including tablets and smartphones. The compressed models provide comparable cutting-edge accuracy, while having a 30 times smaller model size and can run 40.7 ms per frame in a popular browser on a popular smartphone and OS.

    Abstract: Provided is a method and system of providing a cosmetics enhancement interface. The method comprises showing, at the display screen of a computing device having a memory and a processor: a digital photograph including facial features; an interactive dialog portion reflecting a conversational input received and a subsequent response provided thereto from the computing device; and a product display portion; receiving an inquiry, as reflected in the interactive dialog portion, related to a cosmetic product for application onto a selected facial feature; receiving a selection of the cosmetic product based on a matching to the at least one facial feature according to a predefined rule; displaying, at the product display portion, a product representation associated with the selected cosmetic product; receiving an update request; and updating the digital photograph showing a modification to the facial feature on the display screen by simulating application of the selected cosmetic product thereon.

    Abstract: There is provided methods, devices and techniques to process an image using a deep learning model to achieve continuous effect simulation by a unified network where a simple (effect class) estimator is embedded into a regular encoder-decoder architecture. The estimator allows learning of model-estimated class embeddings of all effect classes (e.g. progressive degrees of the effect), thus representing the continuous effect information without manual efforts in selecting proper anchor effect groups. In an embodiment, given a target age class, there is derived a personalized age embedding which considers two aspects of face aging: 1) a personalized residual age embedding at a model-estimated age of the subject, preserving the subject's aging information; and 2) exemplar-face aging basis at the target age, encoding the shared aging patterns among the entire population. Training and runtime (inference time) embodiments are described including an AR application that generates recommendations and provides ecommerce services.

    Abstract: A system and method compute, store and use relativity measures between events in datasets where the measures are stored in a relational memory for querying. From user data and e-commerce shopping session data, relativity measures are computed for a plurality of subsets of data attributes of the user data and session data, each subset comprising two or more data attributes. The relativity measures individually or when combined represent conditional relativities between a set of events within the session data. Only the relativity measures are stored to the relational memory. The measures may be queried for results and applied to the e-commerce service (e.g. to determine which specific product data to present or an order of the presentation of the specific product data). The relativity measures may be computed only for pre-selected relations between particular data attributes which give desired trends and insights into user shopping using the e-commerce service.

    Abstract: GANs based generators are useful to perform image to image translations. GANs models have large storage sizes and resource use requirements such that they are too large to be deployed directly on mobile devices. Systems and methods define through conditioning a student GANs model having a student generator that is scaled downwardly from a teacher GANs model (and generator) using knowledge distillation. A semantic relation knowledge distillation loss is used to transfer semantic knowledge from an intermediate layer of the teacher to an intermediate layer of the student. Student generators thus defined are stored and executed by mobile devices such as smartphones and laptops to provide augmented reality experiences. Effects are simulated on images, including makeup, hair, nail and age simulation effects.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for computing systems, methods and computer program products to produce efficient image-to-image translation by adapting unpaired datasets for supervised learning. A first model (a powerful model) may be defined and conditioned using unsupervised learning to produce a synthetic paired dataset from the unpaired dataset, translating images from a first domain to a second domain and images from the second domain to the first domain. The synthetic data generated is useful as ground truths in supervised learning. The first model may be conditioned to overfit the unpaired dataset to enhance the quality of the paired dataset (e.g. the synthetic data generated). A run-time model such as for a target device is trained using the synthetic paired dataset and supervised learning. The run-time model is small and fast to meet the processing resources of the target device (e.g. a personal user device such as a smart phone, tablet, etc.)
