Computing systems that provide a modularized infrastructure for training Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are provided herein. For example, the modularized infrastructure can include a lightweight library designed to make it easy to train and evaluate GANs. A user can interact with and/or build upon the modularized infrastructure to easily train GANs. The modularized infrastructure can include a number of distinct sets of code that handle various stages of and operations within the GAN training process. The sets of code can be modular. That is, the sets of code can be designed to exist independently yet be easily and intuitively combinable. Thus, the user can employ some or all of the sets of code or can replace a certain set of code with a set of custom-code while still generating a workable combination.

Computing systems with modularized infrastructure for training generative adversarial networks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for performing visual tracking. In one aspect, a method comprises receiving: (i) one or more reference video frames, (ii) respective reference labels for each of a plurality of reference pixels in the reference video frames, and (iii) a target video frame. The reference video frames and the target video frame are processed using a colorization machine learning model to generate respective pixel similarity measures between each of (i) a plurality of target pixels in the target video frame, and (ii) the reference pixels in the reference video frames. A respective target label is determined for each target pixel in the target video frame, comprising: combining (i) the reference labels for the reference pixels in the reference video frames, and (ii) the pixel similarity measures.

Visual tracking by colorization

Systems and methods for transforming grayscale images into color images using deep neural networks are described. One of the systems include one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to implement a coloring neural network, a refinement neural network, and a subsystem. The coloring neural network is configured to receive a first grayscale image having a first resolution and to process the first grayscale image to generate a first color image having a second resolution lower than the first resolution. The subsystem processes the first color image to generate a set of intermediate image outputs. The refinement neural network is configured to receive the set intermediate image outputs, and to process the set of intermediate image outputs to generate a second color image having a third resolution higher than the second resolution.
