• Authors: Mengyao Cui, Zhe Zhu, Shao-Ping Lu, Yulu Yang
• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel task called text-based style generation and propose a two-stage generative adversarial network. The first stage generates the overall image style with a sentence feature, and the second stage refines the generated style with a synthetic feature. The practical potential of our work is demonstrated by various applications such as text-image alignment and story visualization.

• Abstract: Previous text-to-image synthesis algorithms typically use explicit textual instructions to generate/manipulate images accurately, but they have difficulty adapting to guidance in the form of coarsely matched texts. In this work, we attempt to stylize an input image using such coarsely matched text as guidance. To tackle this new problem, we introduce a novel task called text-based style generation and propose a two-stage generative adversarial network: the first stage generates the overall image style with a sentence feature, and the second stage refines the generated style with a synthetic feature, which is produced by a multi-modality style synthesis module. We re-filter one existing dataset and collect a new dataset for the task. Extensive experiments and ablation studies are conducted to validate our framework. The practical potential of our work is demonstrated by various applications such as text-image alignment and story visualization.
