• Abstract: The generative adversarial network (GAN) exhibits great superiority in the face attribute synthesis task. However, existing methods have very limited effects on the expansion of new attributes. To overcome the limitations of a single network in new attribute synthesis, a continuous learning method for face attribute synthesis is proposed in this work. First, the feature vector of the input image is extracted and attribute direction regression is performed in the feature space to obtain the axes of different attributes. The feature vector is then linearly guided along the axis so that images with target attributes can be synthesized by the decoder. Finally, to make the network capable of continuous learning, the orthogonal direction modification module is used to extend the newly-added attributes. Experimental results show that the proposed method can endow a single network with the ability to learn attributes continuously, and, as compared to those produced by the current state-of-the-art methods, the synthetic attributes have higher accuracy.

  Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) are a promising approach for extracting neural network representations. We introduce Gradient SAEs, which modify the $k$-sparse autoencoder architecture by augmenting the TopK activation function. We find evidence that g-SAEs learn latents that are on average more effective at steering models in arbitrary contexts.

  A rich set of semantic directions exist in the latent space of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) Existing methods may suffer poor attribute variation disentanglement, leading to unwanted change of other attributes when altering the desired one. We propose a novel framework (IALS) that performs Instance-Aware Latent-Space Search to find semantic directions for disentangled attribute editing.

  Methods encode attribute-related information in images into the predefined region of the latent feature space by employing a pair of images with opposite attributes as input to train model. They suffer from three limitations: (1) the model must be trained using a pair of images with opposite attributes as input; (2) weak capability of editing multiple attributes by exemplars; and (3) poor quality of generating image.
