• Abstract: We propose a novel lightweight generative adversarial network for efficient image manipulation using natural language descriptions. To achieve this, a new word-level discriminator is proposed, which provides the generator with fine-grained training feedback at word-level, to facilitate training a lightweight generator that has a small number of parameters, but can still correctly focus on specific visual attributes of an image, and then edit them without affecting other contents that are not described in the text. Furthermore, thanks to the explicit training signal related to each word, the discriminator can also be simplified to have a lightweight structure. Compared with the state of the art, our method has a much smaller number of parameters, but still achieves a competitive manipulation performance. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method can better disentangle different visual attributes, then correctly map them to corresponding semantic words, and thus achieve a more accurate image modification using natural language descriptions.

  Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training (CLIP) bridges images and text by embedding them into a joint latent space. Due to the discrepancy between image and text embeddings in the joint space, using text embeddings as the optimization target often introduces undesired artifacts in the resulting images. We introduce CLIP Projection-Augmentation Embedding (PAE) as an optimization target to improve the performance of text-guided image manipulation.

  Recent text-to-image matching models apply contrastive learning to large corpora of uncurated pairs of images and sentences.

The resulting captions are much less restrictive than those obtained by supervised captioning methods.

  This paper proposes a visual representation method to explicitly enhance conventional word embedding with multiple-aspect senses from visual guidance. We build a small-scale word-image dictionary from a multimodal seed dataset where each word corresponds to diverse related images. Experiments on 12 natural language understanding and machine translation tasks further verify the effectiveness and the generalization capability of the proposed approach.

  The goal of this paper is to embed controllable factors, i.e., natural language descriptions, into image-to-image translation with generative adversarial networks. We propose four key components: (1) the implementation of part-of-speech tagging to filter out non-semantic words in the given description, (2) the adoption of an affine combination module to effectively fuse different modality text and image features, and (3) a novel refined multi-stage architecture to strengthen the differential ability of discriminators and the rectification ability of generators.
