• Authors: Yunfei Liu, Haofei Wang, Yang Yue, Feng Lu
• Abstract summary: Unsupervised image-to-image translation aims to learn the mapping between two visual domains with unpaired samples. We propose to separate the content code and style code simultaneously in a unified framework. Based on the correlation between the latent features and the high-level domain-invariant tasks, the proposed framework demonstrates superior performance.

• Abstract: Unsupervised image-to-image translation aims to learn the mapping between two visual domains with unpaired samples. Existing works focus on disentangling domain-invariant content code and domain-specific style code individually for multimodal purposes. However, less attention has been paid to interpreting and manipulating the translated image. In this paper, we propose to separate the content code and style code simultaneously in a unified framework. Based on the correlation between the latent features and the high-level domain-invariant tasks, the proposed framework demonstrates superior performance in multimodal translation, interpretability and manipulation of the translated image. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the existing unsupervised image translation methods in terms of visual quality and diversity.

  Exemplar-based image translation establishes dense correspondences between a conditional input and an exemplar from two different domains. Existing work builds the cross-domain correspondences implicitly by minimizing feature-wise distances across the two domains. We design a Marginal Contrastive Learning Network (MCL-Net) that explores contrastive learning to learn domain-invariant features for realistic exemplar-based image translation.

  Current image-to-image translations do not control the output domain beyond the classes used during training. We propose a style-aware discriminator that acts as a critic as well as a style to provide conditions. Experiments on multiple datasets verify that the proposed model outperforms current state-of-the-art image-to-image translation methods.

  We introduce BalaGAN, specifically designed to tackle the domain imbalance problem. We leverage the latent modalities of the richer domain to turn the image-to-image translation problem into a balanced, multi-class, and conditional translation problem. We show that BalaGAN outperforms strong baselines of both unconditioned and style-transfer-based image-to-image translation methods.
