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.

Manipulating Attributes of Natural Scenes via Hallucination

TL;DR: A two-stage framework for enabling users to directly manipulate high-level attributes of a natural scene using a deep generative network that can hallucinate images of a scene as if they were taken in a different season, weather condition, or at a different time of the day.

Big but Imperceptible Adversarial Perturbations via Semantic Manipulation.

TL;DR: Two novel methods are proposed, tAdv and cAdv, which leverage texture transfer and colorization to generate natural perturbation with a large $\mathcal{L}_p$ norm, which are general enough to attack both image classification and image captioning tasks on ImageNet and MSCOCO dataset.

Show, Attend and Translate: Unsupervised Image Translation with Self-Regularization and Attention

TL;DR: This work constrain the problem with the assumption that the translated image needs to be perceptually similar to the original image and also appears to be drawn from the new domain, and proposes a simple yet effective image translation model consisting of a single generator trained with a self-regularization term and an adversarial term.

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.
