• Abstract: Generative adversarial networks are the state of the art approach towards learned synthetic image generation. Although early successes were mostly unsupervised, bit by bit, this trend has been superseded by approaches based on labelled data. These supervised methods allow a much finer-grained control of the output image, offering more flexibility and stability. Nevertheless, the main drawback of such models is the necessity of annotated data. In this work, we introduce an novel framework that benefits from two popular learning techniques, adversarial training and representation learning, and takes a step towards unsupervised conditional GANs. In particular, our approach exploits the structure of a latent space (learned by the representation learning) and employs it to condition the generative model. In this way, we break the traditional dependency between condition and label, substituting the latter by unsupervised features coming from the latent space. Finally, we show that this new technique is able to produce samples on demand keeping the quality of its supervised counterpart.

• Efficient Visualization of Neural Networks with Generative Models and Adversarial Perturbations [0.0]
  This paper presents a novel approach for deep visualization via a generative network, offering an improvement over existing methods. Our model simplifies the architecture by reducing the number of networks used, requiring only a generator and a discriminator. Our model requires less prior training knowledge and uses a non-adversarial training process, where the discriminator acts as a guide.

  A previous study, RefTeacher, makes the first attempt to tackle this task by adopting the teacher-student framework to provide pseudo confidence supervision and attention-based supervision. This approach is incompatible with current state-of-the-art visual grounding models, which follow the Transformer-based pipeline. Our paper proposes the ACTive REtraining approach for Semi-Supervised Visual Grounding, abbreviated as ACTRESS.

  We train latent diffusion models and auxiliary latent classifiers to facilitate non-linear navigation of latent representation generation. We show that such conditional generation achieved by latent classifier guidance provably maximizes a lower bound of the conditional log probability during training. We show that this paradigm based on latent classifier guidance is agnostic to pre-trained generative models, and present competitive results for both image generation and sequential manipulation of real and synthetic images.

  We train a generative model to learn perturbations from data and define specifications with respect to the output of the learned model. A unique challenge arising from this setting is that existing verifiers cannot tightly approximate sigmoid activations. We propose a general meta-algorithm for handling sigmoid activations which leverages classical notions of counter-example-guided abstraction refinement.
