• Authors: Hao Wang, Guosheng Lin, Steven C. H. Hoi, Chunyan Miao
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel unified framework of Cycle-consistent Inverse GAN for both text-to-image generation and text-guided image manipulation tasks. We learn a GAN inversion model to convert the images back to the GAN latent space and obtain the inverted latent codes for each image. In the text-guided optimization module, we generate images with the desired semantic attributes by optimizing the inverted latent codes.

• Abstract: This paper investigates an open research task of text-to-image synthesis for automatically generating or manipulating images from text descriptions. Prevailing methods mainly use the text as conditions for GAN generation, and train different models for the text-guided image generation and manipulation tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel unified framework of Cycle-consistent Inverse GAN (CI-GAN) for both text-to-image generation and text-guided image manipulation tasks. Specifically, we first train a GAN model without text input, aiming to generate images with high diversity and quality. Then we learn a GAN inversion model to convert the images back to the GAN latent space and obtain the inverted latent codes for each image, where we introduce the cycle-consistency training to learn more robust and consistent inverted latent codes. We further uncover the latent space semantics of the trained GAN model, by learning a similarity model between text representations and the latent codes. In the text-guided optimization module, we generate images with the desired semantic attributes by optimizing the inverted latent codes. Extensive experiments on the Recipe1M and CUB datasets validate the efficacy of our proposed framework.

  Large-scale diffusion-based generative models have led to breakthroughs in text-conditioned high-resolution image synthesis. We train an ensemble of text-to-image diffusion models specialized for different stages synthesis.

  We propose a Dynamic Aspect-awarE GAN (DAE-GAN) that represents text information comprehensively from multiple granularities, including sentence-level, word-level, and aspect-level. Inspired by human learning behaviors, we develop a novel Aspect-aware Dynamic Re-drawer (ADR) for image refinement, in which an Attended Global Refinement (AGR) module and an Aspect-aware Local Refinement (ALR) module are alternately employed.
