Disclosed are methods and systems for ranking content. In one aspect, a method of ranking content for display includes identifying, via hardware processing circuitry, interactions by a single account with content pairs, each of the content in the content pairs included in a plurality of content, aggregating, via the hardware processing circuitry, the identified interactions across a plurality of accounts, associating, via the hardware processing circuitry, probabilities with each content in the plurality of content based on the aggregated interactions, ranking, via the hardware processing circuitry, the plurality of content based on the associated probabilities; and selecting, via the hardware processing circuitry, content ranked above a threshold for display.

Ranking content for display

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.

Disclosed are implementations for ranking a feed in a social network. In one aspect, a method of generating a feed includes identifying a group of users associated with a first user, identify notifications for the first user based on the group of users, determine one or more actions that may result from each of the identified notifications, rank the notifications based on the one or more determined actions; and display the notifications to the first user according to the ranking.

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.

Device-based image modification of depicted objects

A multistage neural network system can store neural networks as shader programs on GPU memory. Neural network weights can be stored as shader objects or textures on the GPU memory. The GPU can receive a number of neural network image processing tasks to perform on images captured by a client device. The GPU can execute the tasks per driver parameters and display results in real time or near real time on the client device.

Systems and methods provide for analyzing at least one feature of each segment of a plurality of segments of the audio stream to generate for each segment a prediction value indicating whether there is music in the segment, generating a probability value that there is music in the audio stream based on aggregating the prediction values of the plurality of segments, and causing the audio stream to be identified based on determining that the probability value that there is music in the audio stream meets a predetermined threshold.
