• Abstract summary: We show how StyleGAN can be adapted to work on raw uncurated images collected from the Internet. We propose a StyleGAN-based self-distillation approach, which consists of two main components. The presented technique enables the generation of high-quality images, while minimizing the loss in diversity of the data.

• Abstract: StyleGAN is known to produce high-fidelity images, while also offering unprecedented semantic editing. However, these fascinating abilities have been demonstrated only on a limited set of datasets, which are usually structurally aligned and well curated. In this paper, we show how StyleGAN can be adapted to work on raw uncurated images collected from the Internet. Such image collections impose two main challenges to StyleGAN: they contain many outlier images, and are characterized by a multi-modal distribution. Training StyleGAN on such raw image collections results in degraded image synthesis quality. To meet these challenges, we proposed a StyleGAN-based self-distillation approach, which consists of two main components: (i) A generative-based self-filtering of the dataset to eliminate outlier images, in order to generate an adequate training set, and (ii) Perceptual clustering of the generated images to detect the inherent data modalities, which are then employed to improve StyleGAN's "truncation trick" in the image synthesis process. The presented technique enables the generation of high-quality images, while minimizing the loss in diversity of the data. Through qualitative and quantitative evaluation, we demonstrate the power of our approach to new challenging and diverse domains collected from the Internet.

  Existing personalization methods rely on finetuning a text-to-image foundation model on a user's custom dataset. We propose Joint-Image Diffusion (jedi), an effective technique for learning a finetuning-free personalization model. Our model achieves state-of-the-art generation quality, both quantitatively and qualitatively, significantly outperforming both the prior finetuning-based and finetuning-free personalization baselines.

  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.

  We propose to utilize exposure bracketing photography to unify image restoration and enhancement tasks. Due to the difficulty in collecting real-world pairs, we suggest a solution that first pre-trains the model with synthetic paired data. In particular, a temporally modulated recurrent network (TMRNet) and self-supervised adaptation method are proposed.
