Sound-Guided Semantic Image Manipulation

TLDR
In this paper, a framework that directly encodes sound into the multi-modal (image-text) embedding space and manipulates an image from the space is proposed.
Abstract
The recent success of the generative model shows that leveraging the multi-modal embedding space can manipulate an image using text information. However, manipulating an image with other sources rather than text, such as sound, is not easy due to the dynamic characteristics of the sources. Especially, sound can convey vivid emotions and dynamic expressions of the real world. Here, we propose a framework that directly encodes sound into the multi-modal (image-text) embedding space and manipulates an image from the space. Our audio encoder is trained to produce a latent representation from an audio input, which is forced to be aligned with image and text representations in the multi-modal embedding space. We use a direct latent optimization method based on aligned embeddings for sound-guided image manipulation. We also show that our method can mix text and audio modalities, which enrich the variety of the image modification. We verify the effectiveness of our sound-guided image manipulation quantitatively and qualitatively. We also show that our method can mix different modalities, i.e., text and audio, which enrich the variety of the image modification. The experiments on zero-shot audio classification and semantic-level image classification show that our proposed model outperforms other text and sound-guided state-of-the-art methods.

A review on multimodal zero‐shot learning

TL;DR: Multimodal zero-shot learning (MZSL) as mentioned in this paper is a general solution for incorporating prior knowledge into data-driven models and achieving accurate class identification, which can fully exploit the advantages of both technologies and is expected to produce models with greater generalization ability.

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.
