    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe novel motion representations for animating articulated objects consisting of distinct parts. The described systems and method access source image data, identify driving image data to modify image feature data in the source image sequence data, generate, using an image transformation neural network, modified source image data comprising a plurality of modified source images depicting modified versions of the image feature data, the image transformation neural network being trained to identify, for each image in the source image data, a driving image from the driving image data, the identified driving image being implemented by the image transformation neural network to modify a corresponding source image in the source image data using motion estimation differences between the identified driving image and the corresponding source image, and stores the modified source image data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe an image compression system. The image compression system generates a first generative adversarial network (GAN), identifies a threshold, based on the threshold, generates a second GAN by pruning channels of the first GAN, trains the second GAN using similarity-based knowledge distillation from the first GAN, and stores the trained second GAN.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are arrangements that facilitate the transfer of knowledge from models for a source data-processing domain to models for a target data-processing domain. A convolutional neural network space for a source domain is factored into a first classification space and a first reconstruction space. The first classification space stores class information and the first reconstruction space stores domain-specific information. A convolutional neural network space for a target domain is factored into a second classification space and a second reconstruction space. The second classification space stores class information and the second reconstruction space stores domain-specific information. Distribution of the first classification space and the second classification space is aligned.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for video synthesis. The program and method provide for accessing a primary generative adversarial network (GAN) comprising a pre-trained image generator, a motion generator comprising a plurality of neural networks, and a video discriminator; generating an updated GAN based on the primary GAN, by performing operations comprising identifying input data of the updated GAN, the input data comprising an initial latent code and a motion domain dataset, training the motion generator based on the input data, and adjusting weights of the plurality of neural networks of the primary GAN based on an output of the video discriminator; and generating a synthesized video based on the primary GAN and the input data.

    Abstract: A messaging system performs neural network hair rendering for images provided by users of the messaging system. A method of neural network hair rendering includes processing a three-dimensional (3D) model of fake hair and a first real hair image depicting a first person to generate a fake hair structure, and encoding, using a fake hair encoder neural subnetwork, the fake hair structure to generate a coded fake hair structure. The method further includes processing, using a cross-domain structure embedding neural subnetwork, the coded fake hair structure to generate a fake and real hair structure, and encoding, using an appearance encoder neural subnetwork, a second real hair image depicting a second person having a second head to generate an appearance map. The method further includes processing, using a real appearance renderer neural subnetwork, the appearance map and the fake and real hair structure to generate a synthesized real image.
