• Authors: Maciej \.Zelaszczyk and Jacek Ma\'ndziuk
• Abstract summary: Cross-modal representation learning allows to integrate information from different modalities into one representation. We train variational autoencoders (VAEs) to reconstruct image archetypes from audio data. Our results suggest that even in the case when the generated images are relatively inconsistent (diverse), features that are critical for proper image classification are preserved.

• Abstract: Cross-modal representation learning allows to integrate information from different modalities into one representation. At the same time, research on generative models tends to focus on the visual domain with less emphasis on other domains, such as audio or text, potentially missing the benefits of shared representations. Studies successfully linking more than one modality in the generative setting are rare. In this context, we verify the possibility to train variational autoencoders (VAEs) to reconstruct image archetypes from audio data. Specifically, we consider VAEs in an adversarial training framework in order to ensure more variability in the generated data and find that there is a trade-off between the consistency and diversity of the generated images - this trade-off can be governed by scaling the reconstruction loss up or down, respectively. Our results further suggest that even in the case when the generated images are relatively inconsistent (diverse), features that are critical for proper image classification are preserved.

  A prevalent strategy to bolster image classification performance is through augmenting the training set with synthetic images generated by T2I models. In this study, we scrutinize the shortcomings of both current generative and conventional data augmentation techniques. We introduce an innovative inter-class data augmentation method known as Diff-Mix, which enriches the dataset by performing image translations between classes.

  This article proposes a novel approach, referred to as Integrative Variational Autoencoder (textttInVA) method, which borrows information from multiple images obtained from different sources to draw predictive inference of an image. Numerical results demonstrate substantial advantages of textttInVA over VAEs, which typically do not allow borrowing information between input images.

We use StyleGAN2 as the source of generative augmentations and investigate this setup on classification tasks involving facial attributes, cat faces, and cars.
