• Abstract: Deep generative models (DGMs) and their conditional counterparts provide a powerful ability for general-purpose generative modeling of data distributions. However, it remains challenging for existing methods to address advanced conditional generative problems without annotations, which can enable multiple applications like image-to-image translation and image editing. We present a unified Bayesian framework for such problems, which introduces an inference stage on latent variables within the learning process. In particular, we propose a variational Bayesian image translation network (VBITN) that enables multiple image translation and editing tasks. Comprehensive experiments show the effectiveness of our method on unsupervised image-to-image translation, and demonstrate the novel advanced capabilities for semantic editing and mixed domain translation.

  CycleGAN-based methods are known to hide the mismatched information in the generated images to bypass cycle consistency objectives. We introduce StegoGAN, a novel model that leverages steganography to prevent spurious features in generated images. Our approach enhances the semantic consistency of the translated images without requiring additional postprocessing or supervision.

  We consider the targeted image editing problem: blending a region in a source image with a driver image that specifies the desired change. We propose a self-supervised approach that simulates edits by augmenting off-the-shelf images in a target domain. We show that different blending effects can be learned by an intuitive control of the augmentation process, with no other changes required to the model architecture.

  We develop a text-to-operation model to map the vague editing language request into a series of editing operations. The only supervision in the task is the target image, which is insufficient for a stable training of sequential decisions. We propose a novel operation planning algorithm to generate possible editing sequences from the target image as pseudo ground truth.

  Recent work suggests that the power of massive machine learning models is captured by the representations they learn. We seek a model that can relate between different existing representations and propose to solve this task with a conditionally invertible network. Our domain transfer network can translate between fixed representations without having to learn or finetune them.
