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.read more

Not My Deepfake: Towards Plausible Deniability for Machine-Generated Media
TL;DR: A framework to provide developers of generative models with plausible deniability is proposed, and two techniques to provide evidence that a model developer did not produce media that they are being accused of are introduced.

Lightweight and interpretable neural modeling of an audio distortion effect using hyperconditioned differentiable biquads
TL;DR: This work extends trainable infinite impulse response (IIR) filters to the hyperconditioned case, in which a transformation is learned to directly map external parameters of the distortion effect to its internal filter and gain parameters, along with activations necessary to ensure filter stability.

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.
