• Abstract: Given an input image from a source domain and a "guidance" image from a target domain, unsupervised many-to-many image-to-image (UMMI2I) translation methods seek to generate a plausible example from the target domain that preserves domain-invariant information of the input source image and inherits the domain-specific information from the guidance image. For example, when translating female faces to male faces, the generated male face should have the same expression, pose and hair color as the input female image, and the same facial hairstyle and other male-specific attributes as the guidance male image. Current state-of-the art UMMI2I methods generate visually pleasing images, but, since for most pairs of real datasets we do not know which attributes are domain-specific and which are domain-invariant, the semantic correctness of existing approaches has not been quantitatively evaluated yet. In this paper, we propose a set of benchmarks and metrics for the evaluation of semantic correctness of UMMI2I methods. We provide an extensive study how well the existing state-of-the-art UMMI2I translation methods preserve domain-invariant and manipulate domain-specific attributes, and discuss the trade-offs shared by all methods, as well as how different architectural choices affect various aspects of semantic correctness.

  We propose a domain-agnostic i2i method for fine-grained problems, where the domains are related. We present a novel approach that relies on training the generative model to produce images that both share distinctive information of the associated source image. We validate our method on the CelebA-HQ and AFHQ datasets by demonstrating improvements in terms of visual quality.

We show that the proposed method achieves consistently high manipulation accuracy across two synthetic and one natural dataset.

  Attribute image manipulation has been a very active topic since the introduction of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) We present a multimodal representation that handles all attributes, be it guided by random noise or images, while only using the underlying domain information of the target domain. Our method is capable of adding, removing or changing either fine-grained or coarse attributes by using an image as a reference or by exploring the style distribution space.

  We propose the first approach for Multi-Source Domain Adaptation (MSDA) based on Generative Adversarial Networks. Our method is inspired by the observation that the appearance of a given image depends on three factors: the domain, the style and the content. We test our approach using common MSDA benchmarks, showing that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

We show that our method is superior to state-of-the-art methods in terms of image quality significantly.
