• Title: BalaGAN: Image Translation Between Imbalanced Domains via Cross-Modal Transfer
• Authors: Or Patashnik, Dov Danon, Hao Zhang, Daniel Cohen-Or
• Abstract summary: We introduce BalaGAN, specifically designed to tackle the domain imbalance problem. We leverage the latent modalities of the richer domain to turn the image-to-image translation problem into a balanced, multi-class, and conditional translation problem. We show that BalaGAN outperforms strong baselines of both unconditioned and style-transfer-based image-to-image translation methods.

• Abstract: State-of-the-art image-to-image translation methods tend to struggle in an imbalanced domain setting, where one image domain lacks richness and diversity. We introduce a new unsupervised translation network, BalaGAN, specifically designed to tackle the domain imbalance problem. We leverage the latent modalities of the richer domain to turn the image-to-image translation problem, between two imbalanced domains, into a balanced, multi-class, and conditional translation problem, more resembling the style transfer setting. Specifically, we analyze the source domain and learn a decomposition of it into a set of latent modes or classes, without any supervision. This leaves us with a multitude of balanced cross-domain translation tasks, between all pairs of classes, including the target domain. During inference, the trained network takes as input a source image, as well as a reference or style image from one of the modes as a condition, and produces an image which resembles the source on the pixel-wise level, but shares the same mode as the reference. We show that employing modalities within the dataset improves the quality of the translated images, and that BalaGAN outperforms strong baselines of both unconditioned and style-transfer-based image-to-image translation methods, in terms of image quality and diversity.

Based on the correlation between the latent features and the high-level domain-invariant tasks, the proposed framework demonstrates superior performance.

  Unsupervised image-to-image translation aims at learning the mapping from the source to target domain without using paired images for training. An essential yet restrictive assumption for unsupervised image translation is that the two domains are aligned. We propose to select images based on importance reweighting and develop a method to learn the weights and perform translation simultaneously and automatically.
