• Title: Multiclass non-Adversarial Image Synthesis, with Application to Classification from Very Small Sample
• Authors: Itamar Winter, Daphna Weinshall
• Abstract summary: We present a novel non-adversarial generative method - Clustered Optimization of LAtent space (COLA) In the full data regime, our method is capable of generating diverse multi-class images with no supervision. In the small-data regime, where only a small sample of labeled images is available for training with no access to additional unlabeled data, our results surpass state-of-the-art GAN models trained on the same amount of data.

• Abstract: The generation of synthetic images is currently being dominated by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Despite their outstanding success in generating realistic looking images, they still suffer from major drawbacks, including an unstable and highly sensitive training procedure, mode-collapse and mode-mixture, and dependency on large training sets. In this work we present a novel non-adversarial generative method - Clustered Optimization of LAtent space (COLA), which overcomes some of the limitations of GANs, and outperforms GANs when training data is scarce. In the full data regime, our method is capable of generating diverse multi-class images with no supervision, surpassing previous non-adversarial methods in terms of image quality and diversity. In the small-data regime, where only a small sample of labeled images is available for training with no access to additional unlabeled data, our results surpass state-of-the-art GAN models trained on the same amount of data. Finally, when utilizing our model to augment small datasets, we surpass the state-of-the-art performance in small-sample classification tasks on challenging datasets, including CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, STL-10 and Tiny-ImageNet. A theoretical analysis supporting the essence of the method is presented.

  Data-Free Knowledge Distillation (DFKD) is an advanced technique that enables knowledge transfer from a teacher model to a student model without relying on original training data. Previous approaches have generated synthetic images at high resolutions without leveraging information from real images. MUSE generates images at lower resolutions while using Class Activation Maps (CAMs) to ensure that the generated images retain critical, class-specific features.

DataDream fine-tunes LoRA weights for the image generation model on the few real images before generating the training data using the adapted model. We then fine-tune LoRA weights for CLIP using the synthetic data to improve downstream image classification over previous approaches on a large variety of datasets.

• On quantifying and improving realism of images generated with diffusion [50.37578424163951]
  We propose a metric, called Image Realism Score (IRS), computed from five statistical measures of a given image. IRS is easily usable as a measure to classify a given image as real or fake. We experimentally establish the model- and data-agnostic nature of the proposed IRS by successfully detecting fake images generated by Stable Diffusion Model (SDM), Dalle2, Midjourney and BigGAN. Our efforts have also led to Gen-100 dataset, which provides 1,000 samples for 100 classes generated by four high-quality models.
