• Authors: Minyoung Huh, Richard Zhang, Jun-Yan Zhu, Sylvain Paris, Aaron Hertzmann
• Abstract summary: We present a method for projecting an input image into the space of a class-conditional generative neural network. Specifically, we demonstrate that one can solve for image translation, scale, and global color transformation. We show the effectiveness of our method on real images and further demonstrate how the corresponding projections lead to better editability of these images.

• Abstract: We present a method for projecting an input image into the space of a class-conditional generative neural network. We propose a method that optimizes for transformation to counteract the model biases in generative neural networks. Specifically, we demonstrate that one can solve for image translation, scale, and global color transformation, during the projection optimization to address the object-center bias and color bias of a Generative Adversarial Network. This projection process poses a difficult optimization problem, and purely gradient-based optimizations fail to find good solutions. We describe a hybrid optimization strategy that finds good projections by estimating transformations and class parameters. We show the effectiveness of our method on real images and further demonstrate how the corresponding projections lead to better editability of these images.

  We introduce a general framework for designing and training neural network layers whose forward passes can be interpreted as solving non-smooth convex optimization problems. We focus on convex games, solved by local agents represented by the nodes of a graph and interacting through regularization functions. This approach is appealing for solving imaging problems, as it allows the use of classical image priors within deep models that are trainable end to end.
