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.

A Style-Based Generator Architecture for Generative Adversarial Networks

TL;DR: This paper proposed an alternative generator architecture for GANs, borrowing from style transfer literature, which leads to an automatically learned, unsupervised separation of high-level attributes (e.g., pose and identity when trained on human faces) and stochastic variation in the generated images.

Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks

TL;DR: This work introduces a new algorithm named WGAN, an alternative to traditional GAN training that can improve the stability of learning, get rid of problems like mode collapse, and provide meaningful learning curves useful for debugging and hyperparameter searches.

GANs Trained by a Two Time-Scale Update Rule Converge to a Nash Equilibrium

TL;DR: In this article, a two time-scale update rule (TTUR) was proposed for training GANs with stochastic gradient descent on arbitrary GAN loss functions, which has an individual learning rate for both the discriminator and the generator.

Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation using Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks

TL;DR: This work presents an approach for learning to translate an image from a source domain X to a target domain Y in the absence of paired examples, and introduces a cycle consistency loss to push F(G(X)) ≈ X (and vice versa).
