• Abstract: Recent developments in generative models have enabled the generation of photo-realistic human face images, and downstream tasks utilizing face generation technology have advanced accordingly. However, models for downstream tasks are yet substandard at eye control (e.g. eye blink, gaze redirection). To overcome such eye control problems, we introduce a novel framework consisting of two distinct modules: a blink control module and a gaze redirection module. We also propose a novel data augmentation method to train each module, leveraging style mixing to obtain images with desired features. We show that our framework produces eye-controlled images of high quality, and demonstrate how it can be used to improve the performance of downstream tasks.

  Controllable AutoRegressive Modeling (CAR) is a novel, plug-and-play framework that integrates conditional control into multi-scale latent variable modeling. CAR progressively refines and captures control representations, which are injected into each autoregressive step of the pre-trained model to guide the generation process. Our approach demonstrates excellent controllability across various types of conditions and delivers higher image quality compared to previous methods.

  We propose a novel generative model for images of faces, that is capable of producing high-quality images under fine-grained control over eye gaze and head orientation angles. This requires the disentangling of many appearance related factors including gaze and head orientation but also lighting, hue etc. We show that explicitly disentangling task-irrelevant factors results in more accurate modelling of gaze and head orientation.
