• Authors: Steven Liu, Tongzhou Wang, David Bau, Jun-Yan Zhu, Antonio Torralba
• Abstract summary: We train a class-conditional GAN model without using manually annotated class labels. Instead, our model is conditional on labels automatically derived from clustering in the discriminator's feature space. Our clustering step automatically discovers diverse modes, and explicitly requires the generator to cover them.

• Abstract: We introduce a simple but effective unsupervised method for generating realistic and diverse images. We train a class-conditional GAN model without using manually annotated class labels. Instead, our model is conditional on labels automatically derived from clustering in the discriminator's feature space. Our clustering step automatically discovers diverse modes, and explicitly requires the generator to cover them. Experiments on standard mode collapse benchmarks show that our method outperforms several competing methods when addressing mode collapse. Our method also performs well on large-scale datasets such as ImageNet and Places365, improving both image diversity and standard quality metrics, compared to previous methods.

A diffusion model is proposed to model panoptic masks, with a simple architecture and generic loss function. Our method is capable of modeling video (in a streaming setting) and thereby learns to track object instances automatically.

  We propose a novel neural architecture to address the problem of multi-conditional image generation. The proposed method uses a transformer-like architecture operating pixel-wise, which receives the available labels as input tokens. Our experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the clear superiority of our method over the state-of-the-art and the compared baselines.

  Anomaly detection methods identify samples that deviate from the normal behavior of the dataset. Current methods struggle when faced with training data consisting of multiple classes but no labels. We first cluster images using self-supervised methods and obtain a cluster label for every image. We finetune pretrained features on the task of classifying images by their cluster labels.

We build on this observation and propose an approach capable of jointly propagating pixel labels from multiple classes.
