Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that relate to extracting digital watermarks from images, irrespective of distortions introduced into these images. Methods can include inputting a first data item into a channel encoder that can generate a first encoded data item that is greater in length than the first data item and that (1) includes the input data item and (2) new data this is redundant of the input data item. Based on the first encoded data item and a first image, an encoder model can generate a first encoded image into which the first encoded data is embedded as a digital watermark. A decoder model can decode the first encoded data item to generate a second data, which can be decoded by the channel decoder to generate data that is predicted to be the first data.
