Title: Varnith Uttam Chordia and Automated Captioning for Augmented Reality Effects

Introduction

Varnith Uttam Chordia is an inventor associated with Snap Inc. and based in Jersey City, New Jersey. His patent work addresses how augmented reality effects in videos can be described in ways that support discovery and organization.

Latest Patents

Chordia is associated with 1 patent: “Automated Captioning of Augmented Reality Effects in Videos.” The invention uses an adapted multimodal large language model to generate captions for AR effects. It samples frames from videos with and without AR effects, combines the frames, and processes them with a hybrid vision encoder. The system then integrates visual and text tokens for a language model to produce captions. Optical character recognition extracts text from AR frames, which is combined with the generated captions and metadata to create merged captions and content tags. These descriptions can support downstream applications such as search and ranking.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects work at the intersection of augmented reality, video understanding, and language-model-based content description. By focusing on temporal AR effects, the approach aims to capture changes across video frames rather than describe only a single image.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Kwot Sin Lee and Jacob Assa as Chordia’s coworkers. Their inclusion here reflects the provided association and does not specify their individual roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Varnith Uttam Chordia’s patent describes a method for turning augmented reality video effects into searchable, informative captions, connecting multimodal AI techniques with practical content-discovery applications.
