• Title: Image Generation With Neural Cellular Automatas
• Authors: Mingxiang Chen, Zhecheng Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel approach to generate images (or other artworks) by using neural cellular automatas (NCAs) Rather than training NCAs based on single images one by one, we combined the idea with variational autoencoders (VAEs) and hence explored some applications, such as image restoration and style fusion.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel approach to generate images (or other artworks) by using neural cellular automatas (NCAs). Rather than training NCAs based on single images one by one, we combined the idea with variational autoencoders (VAEs), and hence explored some applications, such as image restoration and style fusion. The code for model implementation is available online.

  Few-shot image classification aims to learn an image classifier using only a small set of labeled examples per class. We propose DISEF, a novel approach which addresses the generalization challenge in few-shot learning using synthetic data. We validate our method in ten different benchmarks, consistently outperforming baselines and establishing a new state-of-the-art for few-shot classification.

  Existing autoregressive models follow the two-stage generation paradigm that first learns a codebook in the latent space for image reconstruction and then completes the image generation autoregressively based on the learned codebook. We propose a novel two-stage framework, which consists of Masked Quantization VAE (MQ-VAE) Stack model from modeling redundancy.

  We propose to improve the quality of generated images by rethinking the discriminator architecture. The focus is on the class of problems where images are generated given semantic inputs, such as scene segmentation maps or human body poses. We aim to learn a shared latent representation that encodes enough information to jointly do semantic segmentation, content reconstruction, along with a coarse-to-fine grained adversarial reasoning.

• Meta Internal Learning [88.68276505511922]
  Internal learning for single-image generation is a framework, where a generator is trained to produce novel images based on a single image. We propose a meta-learning approach that enables training over a collection of images, in order to model the internal statistics of the sample image more effectively. Our results show that the models obtained are as suitable as single-image GANs for many common image applications.

  We show that the neural network architecture of the Neural Cellular Automata can be encapsulated in a larger NN. This allows us to propose a new model that encodes a manifold of NCA, each of them capable of generating a distinct image. In biological terms, our approach would play the role of the transcription factors, modulating the mapping of genes into specific proteins that drive cellular differentiation.
