• Authors: Elvis Han Cui, Bingbin Li, Yanan Li, Weng Kee Wong, Donghui Wang
• Abstract summary: Many existing methods generate new samples from a parametric distribution, like the Gaussian, with little attention to generate samples along the data manifold in either the input or feature space. We propose a novel trajectory-aware principal manifold framework to restore the manifold backbone and generate samples along a specific trajectory. We show that the novel framework is able to extract more compact manifold representation, improve classification accuracy and generate smooth transformation among few samples.

• Abstract: Data augmentation for deep learning benefits model training, image transformation, medical imaging analysis and many other fields. Many existing methods generate new samples from a parametric distribution, like the Gaussian, with little attention to generate samples along the data manifold in either the input or feature space. In this paper, we verify that there are theoretical and practical advantages of using the principal manifold hidden in the feature space than the Gaussian distribution. We then propose a novel trajectory-aware principal manifold framework to restore the manifold backbone and generate samples along a specific trajectory. On top of the autoencoder architecture, we further introduce an intrinsic dimension regularization term to make the manifold more compact and enable few-shot image generation. Experimental results show that the novel framework is able to extract more compact manifold representation, improve classification accuracy and generate smooth transformation among few samples.

  We study the geometric properties of the diffusion model, whose forward diffusion process and reverse generation process construct a series of distributions on a manifold. We show that the generation rate is highly correlated with intuitive visual properties, such as visual saliency, of the image component. We propose an efficient and differentiable scheme to estimate the generation rate for a given image component over time, giving rise to a generation curve.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.

  We propose an explicit deconvolution process in a feature space by integrating a classical Wiener deconvolution framework with learned deep features. A multi-scale cascaded feature refinement module then predicts the deblurred image from the deconvolved deep features. We show that the proposed deep Wiener deconvolution network facilitates deblurred results with visibly fewer artifacts and quantitatively outperforms state-of-the-art non-blind image deblurring methods by a wide margin.
