Progressive Growing of GANs for Improved Quality, Stability, and Variation

S. Laine, Timo Aila, Tero Karras, J. Lehtinen•Thu Oct 26 2017

A new training methodology for generative adversarial networks is described, starting from a low resolution, and adding new layers that model increasingly fine details as training progresses, allowing for images of unprecedented quality.

ArcFace: Additive Angular Margin Loss for Deep Face Recognition

Jiankang Deng, J. Guo, S. Zafeiriou•Mon Jan 22 2018

One of the main challenges in feature learning using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) for large-scale face recognition is the design of appropriate loss functions that can enhance the discriminative power. Centre loss penalises the distance between deep features and their corresponding class centres in the Euclidean space to achieve intra-class compactness. SphereFace assumes that the linear transformation matrix in the last fully connected layer can be used as a representation of the class centres in the angular space and therefore penalises the angles between deep features and their corresponding weights in a multiplicative way. Recently, a popular line of research is to incorporate margins in well-established loss functions in order to maximise face class separability. In this paper, we propose an Additive Angular Margin Loss (ArcFace) to obtain highly discriminative features for face recognition. The proposed ArcFace has a clear geometric interpretation due to its exact correspondence to geodesic distance on a hypersphere. We present arguably the most extensive experimental evaluation against all recent state-of-the-art face recognition methods on ten face recognition benchmarks which includes a new large-scale image database with trillions of pairs and a large-scale video dataset. We show that ArcFace consistently outperforms the state of the art and can be easily implemented with negligible computational overhead. To facilitate future research, the code has been made available.

Everybody Dance Now

Alexei A. Efros, Caroline Chan, Shiry Ginosar, Tinghui Zhou•Tue Aug 21 2018

This paper presents a simple method for “do as I do” motion transfer: given a source video of a person dancing, it is shown that it can transfer that performance to a novel (amateur) target after only a few minutes of the target subject performing standard moves.

Learning a model of facial shape and expression from 4D scans

Michael J. Black, J. Romero, Timo Bolkart, Tianye Li, Hao Li•Sun Nov 19 2017

Faces Learned with an Articulated Model and Expressions is low-dimensional but more expressive than the FaceWarehouse model and the Basel Face Model and is compared to these models by fitting them to static 3D scans and 4D sequences using the same optimization method.

Encoding in Style: a StyleGAN Encoder for Image-to-Image Translation

Yuval Alaluf, Yotam Nitzan, Or Patashnik, D. Cohen-Or, Elad Richardson, Yaniv Azar, Stav Shapiro•Sun Aug 02 2020

This work presents a generic image-to-image translation framework, pixel2style2pixel (pSp), based on a novel encoder network that directly generates a series of style vectors which are fed into a pretrained StyleGAN generator, forming the extended latent space.

Interpreting the Latent Space of GANs for Semantic Face Editing

Xiaoou Tang, Bolei Zhou, Jinjin Gu, Yujun Shen•Wed Jul 24 2019

This work proposes a novel framework, called InterFaceGAN, for semantic face editing by interpreting the latent semantics learned by GANs, and finds that the latent code of well-trained generative models actually learns a disentangled representation after linear transformations.

Wav2Pix: Speech-conditioned Face Generation Using Generative Adversarial Networks

A. Duarte, Jordi Torres, Xavier Giró-i-Nieto, Amaia Salvador, Kevin McGuinness, Janna Escur, Eva Mohedano, F. Roldan, Miquel Tubau, Santiago Pascual•Sun Mar 24 2019

A deep neural network is proposed that is trained from scratch in an end-to-end fashion, generating a face directly from the raw speech waveform without any additional identity information (e.g reference image or one-hot encoding).

GANimation: Anatomically-aware Facial Animation from a Single Image

F. Moreno-Noguer, Aleix M. Martinez, Albert Pumarola, A. Sanfeliu, Antonio Agudo•Mon Jul 23 2018

A novel GAN conditioning scheme based on Action Units (AU) annotations, which describes in a continuous manifold the anatomical facial movements defining a human expression, and proposes a fully unsupervised strategy to train the model, that only requires images annotated with their activated AUs.
