Encoding and decoding a stylized custom graphic

A system, comprising:

• hardware processing circuitry;
• a hardware memory storing instructions that when executed configure the hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
• accessing a set of bits;
• generating, using an encoder, image data encoding the set of bits;
• incorporating, by hardware processing circuitry, characteristics of a style from a sample image into the image data, wherein the incorporating the characteristics of the style from the sample image into the image data comprises minimizing a loss function of the style by modifying the image data;
• generating a graphic image based on the image data that encodes the set of bits and comprises characteristics of the style;
• associating the set of bits with an operation to be performed by an interaction system upon decoding of the encoded set of bits, wherein the set of bits is included in a bit string, the operations further comprising:
• accessing the bit string;
• generating, using an encoder, image data encoding the bit string, the encoder trained to minimize a loss in relation to training data generated by the encoder and decoded by a decoder;
• associating the bit string with the operation to be performed by the interaction system upon decoding of the bit string;
• transferring the style from the sample image to the image data, wherein the transferring of the style from the sample image to the image data comprises minimizing a loss function of the style and a second style of the image data by modifying the image data, and minimizing a second loss function of a content of the image data and a second content of the modified image data;
• and
• filling a graphic image with the image data encoding the bit string and having the style.
