Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for training and/or inferencing using machine-learning models. In at least one embodiment, a user selects a source media (e.g., video or audio file) and a target identity. A content embedding may be extracted from the source media, and an identity embedding may be obtained for the target identity. The content embedding of the source media and the identity embedding of the target identity may be provided to a transfer model that generates synthesized media. For example, a user may select a song that is sung by a first artist and then select a second artist as the target identity to produce a cover of the song in the voice of the second artist.
