A compact generative neural network can be distilled from a teacher generative neural network using a training network. The compact network can be trained on the input data and output data of the teacher network. The training network train the student network using a discrimination layer and one or more types of losses, such as perception loss and adversarial loss.

Generative neural network distillation

A mobile device can implement a neural network-based style transfer scheme to modify an image in a first style to a second style. The style transfer scheme can be configured to detect an object in the image, apply an effect to the image, and blend the image using color space adjustments and blending schemes to generate a realistic result image. The style transfer scheme can further be configured to efficiently execute on the constrained device by removing operational layers based on resources available on the mobile device.

Realistic neural network based image style transfer

Manipulating images using computationally expensive machine learning schemes can be implemented using server-generated models of the machine learning schemes that are transmitted to a client device for application. The schemes can include convolutional neural networks having a kernel comprising a plurality of low-rank matrices.

Fast image style transfers

A system of machine learning schemes can be configured to efficiently perform image processing tasks on a user device, such as a mobile phone. The system can selectively detect and transform individual regions within each frame of a live streaming video. The system can selectively partition and toggle image effects within the live streaming video.
