TLDR
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.Abstract:
We propose spatially-adaptive normalization, a simple but effective layer for synthesizing photorealistic images given an input semantic layout. Previous methods directly feed the semantic layout as input to the network, forcing the network to memorize the information throughout all the layers. Instead, we propose using the input layout for modulating the activations in normalization layers through a spatially-adaptive, learned affine transformation. Experiments on several challenging datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method compared to existing approaches, regarding both visual fidelity and alignment with input layouts. Finally, our model allows users to easily control the style and content of image synthesis results as well as create multi-modal results. Code is available upon publication.read more

BE-ACGAN: Photo-realistic residual bit-depth enhancement by advanced conditional GAN
TL;DR: A residual BE algorithm based on advanced conditional generative adversarial network (BE-ACGAN), in which the discriminator adversarially helps assess image quality and train the generator to achieve more photo-realistic recovery performance, which outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on large-scale benchmark datasets.

Deep image synthesis from intuitive user input: A review and perspectives
TL;DR: In many applications of computer graphics, art, and design, it is desirable for a user to provide intuitive non-image input, such as text, sketch, stroke, graph or layout, and have a computer system automatically generate photo-realistic images according to that input as mentioned in this paper.

INSIDE: Steering Spatial Attention with Non-Imaging Information in CNNs
TL;DR: This paper proposes a mechanism to allow for spatial localisation conditioned on non-imaging information, using a feature-wise attention mechanism comprising a differentiable parametrised function (e.g. Gaussian), prior to applying thefeature-wise modulation.

MIDMs: Matching Interleaved Diffusion Models for Exemplar-based Image Translation
TL;DR: A diffusion-based matching-and-generation framework that interleaves cross-domain matching and diffusion steps in the latent space by iteratively feeding the intermediate warp into the noising process and denoising it to generate a translated image.

Diederik P. Kingma,Jimmy Ba +1 more
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.

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.
