Large Scale GAN Training for High Fidelity Natural Image Synthesis
TLDR
It is found that applying orthogonal regularization to the generator renders it amenable to a simple "truncation trick," allowing fine control over the trade-off between sample fidelity and variety by reducing the variance of the Generator's input.Abstract:
Despite recent progress in generative image modeling, successfully generating high-resolution, diverse samples from complex datasets such as ImageNet remains an elusive goal. To this end, we train Generative Adversarial Networks at the largest scale yet attempted, and study the instabilities specific to such scale. We find that applying orthogonal regularization to the generator renders it amenable to a simple "truncation trick," allowing fine control over the trade-off between sample fidelity and variety by reducing the variance of the Generator's input. Our modifications lead to models which set the new state of the art in class-conditional image synthesis. When trained on ImageNet at 128x128 resolution, our models (BigGANs) achieve an Inception Score (IS) of 166.5 and Frechet Inception Distance (FID) of 7.4, improving over the previous best IS of 52.52 and FID of 18.6.read more

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
TL;DR: High quality image synthesis results are presented using diffusion probabilistic models, a class of latent variable models inspired by considerations from nonequilibrium thermodynamics, which naturally admit a progressive lossy decompression scheme that can be interpreted as a generalization of autoregressive decoding.

Analyzing and Improving the Image Quality of StyleGAN
TL;DR: This work redesigns the generator normalization, revisit progressive growing, and regularize the generator to encourage good conditioning in the mapping from latent codes to images, and thereby redefines the state of the art in unconditional image modeling.

Semantic Image Synthesis With Spatially-Adaptive Normalization
TL;DR: S spatially-adaptive normalization is proposed, a simple but effective layer for synthesizing photorealistic images given an input semantic layout that allows users to easily control the style and content of image synthesis results as well as create multi-modal results.
