TLDR
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.

Visualizing Adapted Knowledge in Domain Transfer

TL;DR: This work proposes a source-free image translation method that generates source-style images using only target images and the two models to depict the adapted knowledge and finds that generated images successfully capture the style difference between the two domains.

BlockGAN: Learning 3D Object-aware Scene Representations from Unlabelled Images

TL;DR: BlockGAN as mentioned in this paper learns object-aware 3D scene representations directly from unlabeled 2D images by generating 3D features of background and foreground objects, then combining them into 3D feature for the wholes cene, and finally rendering them into realistic images.

Style Normalization and Restitution for Domain Generalization and Adaptation

TL;DR: A novel Style Normalization and Restitution module (SNR) is designed to simultaneously ensure both high generalization and discrimination capability of the networks and enforce a dual causality loss constraint in the restitution step to encourage the better separation of task-relevant and task-irrelevant features.

StandardGAN: Multi-Source Domain Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation of Very High Resolution Satellite Images by Data Standardization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method called StandardGAN, which standardizes each source and target domains so that all the data have similar data distributions, and then use the standardized source domains to train a classifier and segment the standardized target domain.

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.
