Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for jointly training an encoder that generates a watermark and a decoder that decodes a data item encoded within the watermark. The training comprises obtaining a plurality of training images and data items. For each training image, a first watermark is generated using an encoder and a subsequent second watermark is generated by tiling two or more first watermarks. The training image is watermarked using the second watermark to generate a first error value and distortions are added to the watermarked image. A distortion detector predicts the distortions based on which the distorted image is modified. The modified image is decoded by the decoder to generate a predicted data item and a second error value. The training parameters of the encoder and decoder are adjusted based on the first and the second error value.
