Spectral Normalization for Generative Adversarial Networks
TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a novel weight normalization technique called spectral normalization to stabilize the training of the discriminator, which is computationally light and easy to incorporate into existing implementations.Abstract:
One of the challenges in the study of generative adversarial networks is the instability of its training. In this paper, we propose a novel weight normalization technique called spectral normalization to stabilize the training of the discriminator. Our new normalization technique is computationally light and easy to incorporate into existing implementations. We tested the efficacy of spectral normalization on CIFAR10, STL-10, and ILSVRC2012 dataset, and we experimentally confirmed that spectrally normalized GANs (SN-GANs) is capable of generating images of better or equal quality relative to the previous training stabilization techniques.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.
