In this article, adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) is proposed to align the mean and variance of the content features with those of the style features, which enables arbitrary style transfer in real-time.
Abstract
Gatys et al. recently introduced a neural algorithm that renders a content image in the style of another image, achieving so-called style transfer. However, their framework requires a slow iterative optimization process, which limits its practical application. Fast approximations with feed-forward neural networks have been proposed to speed up neural style transfer. Unfortunately, the speed improvement comes at a cost: the network is usually tied to a fixed set of styles and cannot adapt to arbitrary new styles. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective approach that for the first time enables arbitrary style transfer in real-time. At the heart of our method is a novel adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) layer that aligns the mean and variance of the content features with those of the style features. Our method achieves speed comparable to the fastest existing approach, without the restriction to a pre-defined set of styles. In addition, our approach allows flexible user controls such as content-style trade-off, style interpolation, color & spatial controls, all using a single feed-forward neural network.

Domain adaptation using adversarial learning for autonomous navigation

TL;DR: This work proposes an autonomous navigation method that does not require expensive labeled real images and uses only a relatively inexpensive monocular camera, and is the first work to apply domain adaptation with adversarial networks to autonomous navigation.

Cross-Domain Cascaded Deep Translation

TL;DR: This work translates between the deepest layers of a pre-trained network, where the deep features contain more semantics, and applies the translation between these deep features, in a cascaded, deep-to-shallow, fashion, along the deep feature hierarchy.

One Model to Reconstruct Them All: A Novel Way to Use the Stochastic Noise in StyleGAN.

TL;DR: A novel StyleGAN-based autoencoder architecture, which can reconstruct images with very high quality across several data domains, and demonstrates a previously unknown grade of generalizablility by training the encoder and decoder independently and on different datasets.

Improving Perceptual Quality by Phone-Fortified Perceptual Loss for Speech Enhancement.

TL;DR: This study designed a phone-fortified perceptual (PFP) loss, and the training of the SE model was guided by PFP loss, which was more strongly correlated with the perceptual evaluation metrics than point-wise and signal-level losses.

Adam: A Method for Stochastic Optimization

TL;DR: This work introduces Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments, and provides a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework.

Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of the convolutional network depth on its accuracy in the large-scale image recognition setting and showed that a significant improvement on the prior-art configurations can be achieved by pushing the depth to 16-19 layers.

Generative Adversarial Nets

TL;DR: A new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which two models are simultaneously train: a generative model G that captures the data distribution and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G.
