Methods and systems for time marking of media items at a platform using machine-learning are provided herein. An indication of a identified media item is provided as input to a machine-learning model and one or more outputs of the machine-learning model is obtained. The one or more obtained outputs comprise time marks identifying each of the plurality of content segments of the media item. Each of the plurality of content segments is associated with a segment start indicator for a timeline of the media item. A resulting duration is determined of a combination of the plurality of content segments for which the time marks were obtained from the one or more of outputs of the machine-learning model. Responsive to determining that the resulting duration is less than the duration of the media item, one or more further inputs is provided to the machine learning model.

Techniques are disclosed that enable generation of an audio waveform representing synthesized speech based on a difference signal determined using an autoregressive model. Various implementations include using a distribution of the difference signal values to represent sounds found in human speech with a higher level of granularity than sounds not frequently found in human speech. Additional or alternative implementations include using one or more speakers of a client device to render the generated audio waveform.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for encoding video comprising a sequence of video frames. In one aspect, a method comprises for one or more of the video frames: obtaining a feature embedding for the video frame; processing the feature embedding using a rate control machine learning model to generate a respective score for each of multiple quantization parameter values; selecting a quantization parameter value using the scores; determining a cumulative amount of data required to represent: (i) an encoded representation of the video frame and (ii) encoded representations of each preceding video frame; determining, based on the cumulative amount of data, that a feedback control criterion for the video frame is satisfied; updating the selected quantization parameter value; and processing the video frame using an encoding model to generate the encoded representation of the video frame.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed toward digital signal processing using machine-learned differentiable digital signal processors. For example, embodiments of the present disclosure may include differentiable digital signal processors within the training loop of a machine-learned model (e.g., for gradient-based training). Advantageously, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide high quality signal processing using smaller models than prior systems, thereby reducing energy costs (e.g., storage and/or processing costs) associated with performing digital signal processing.

There is described a neural network system implemented by one or more computers for determining graph similarity. The neural network system comprises one or more neural networks configured to process an input graph to generate a node state representation vector for each node of the input graph and an edge representation vector for each edge of the input graph; and process the node state representation vectors and the edge representation vectors to generate a vector representation of the input graph. The neural network system further comprises one or more processors configured to: receive a first graph; receive a second graph; generate a vector representation of the first graph; generate a vector representation of the second graph; determine a similarity score for the first graph and the second graph based upon the vector representations of the first graph and the second graph.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a machine learning model. A method includes: maintaining a plurality of training sessions; assigning, to each worker of one or more workers, a respective training session of the plurality of training sessions; repeatedly performing operations until meeting one or more termination criteria, the operations comprising: receiving an updated training session from a respective worker of the one or more workers, selecting a second training session, selecting, based on comparing the updated training session and the second training session using a fitness evaluation function, either the updated training session or the second training session as a parent training session, generating a child training session from the selected parent training session, and assigning the child training session to an available worker, and selecting a candidate model to be a trained model for the machine learning model.

Population-based training of machine learning models

Methods and systems for time marking of media items at a platform using machine-learning are provided herein. A media item is provided to users of a platform. An indication of the identified media item is provided as input to a machine-learning model that is trained using different feature types of historical media items to predict a plurality of content segments of a given media item each depicting, to the one or more users, a distinct section of the media item. One or more outputs of the machine-learning model are obtained comprising time marks identifying each of the plurality of content segments of the media item. Each of the plurality of content segments are associated with a segment start indicator for a timeline of the media item. The media item and an indication of each segment start indicator is provided for presentation to at least one user.
