• Title: Amplifying The Uncanny
• Authors: Terence Broad, Frederic Fol Leymarie, Mick Grierson
• Abstract summary: Deep neural networks have become remarkably good at producing realistic deepfakes. Deepfakes are produced by algorithms that learn to distinguish between real and fake images. This paper explores the aesthetic outcome of inverting this process, instead optimising the system to generate images that it predicts as being fake.

• Abstract: Deep neural networks have become remarkably good at producing realistic deepfakes, images of people that (to the untrained eye) are indistinguishable from real images. Deepfakes are produced by algorithms that learn to distinguish between real and fake images and are optimised to generate samples that the system deems realistic. This paper, and the resulting series of artworks Being Foiled explore the aesthetic outcome of inverting this process, instead optimising the system to generate images that it predicts as being fake. This maximises the unlikelihood of the data and in turn, amplifies the uncanny nature of these machine hallucinations.

In this paper, we systematically vary amounts of real and synthetic images used for training in both maize and canola.

  Existing generated image detection methods detect visual artifacts in generated images or learn discriminative features from both real and generated images by massive training. This paper approaches the generated image detection problem from a new perspective: Start from real images. By finding the commonality of real images and mapping them to a dense subspace in feature space, the goal is that generated images, regardless of their generative model, are then projected outside the subspace.

  Mobile apps like FACEAPP make use of the most advanced Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to produce extreme transformations on human face photos. This kind of media object took the name of Deepfake and raised a new challenge in the multimedia forensics field: the Deepfake detection challenge. In this paper, a new approach aimed to extract a Deepfake fingerprint from images is proposed.

  We propose an autoencoder for joint generation of realistic images from synthetic 3D models while simultaneously decomposing real images into their intrinsic shape and appearance properties. Our experiments confirm that a joint treatment of rendering and decomposition is indeed beneficial and that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art image-to-image translation baselines both qualitatively and quantitatively.

  Training an unpaired synthetic-to-real translation network in image space is severely under-constrained. We propose a semi-supervised approach that operates on the disentangled shading and albedo layers of the image. Our two-stage pipeline first learns to predict accurate shading in a supervised fashion using physically-based renderings as targets.

  Existing methods decompose a face image into three components (albedo, normal, and illumination) by supervised training on synthetic data. We propose a weakly supervised training approach to train our model on real face videos, based on the assumption of consistency of albedo and normal. Our network is trained on both real and synthetic data, benefiting from both.
