• Abstract: The rapid advancement of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) necessitates the need to robustly evaluate these models. Among the established evaluation criteria, the Fr\'{e}chetInception Distance (FID) has been widely adopted due to its conceptual simplicity, fast computation time, and strong correlation with human perception. However, FID has inherent limitations, mainly stemming from its assumption that feature embeddings follow a Gaussian distribution, and therefore can be defined by their first two moments. As this does not hold in practice, in this paper we explore the importance of third-moments in image feature data and use this information to define a new measure, which we call the Skew Inception Distance (SID). We prove that SID is a pseudometric on probability distributions, show how it extends FID, and present a practical method for its computation. Our numerical experiments support that SID either tracks with FID or, in some cases, aligns more closely with human perception when evaluating image features of ImageNet data. Our work also shows that principal component analysis can be used to speed up the computation time of both FID and SID. Although we focus on using SID on image features for GAN evaluation, SID is applicable much more generally, including for the evaluation of other generative models.

  Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is a task that retrieves images similar to a query, based on a provided textual modification. Current techniques rely on supervised learning for CIR models using labeled triplets of the reference image, text, target image. We propose a new semi-supervised CIR approach where we search for a reference and its related target images in auxiliary data.

• Reviewing FID and SID Metrics on Generative Adversarial Networks [0.0]
  The growth of generative adversarial network (GAN) models has increased the ability of image processing. Previous research has shown the Fr'echet Inception Distance (FID) to be an effective metric when testing these image-to-image GANs in real-world applications. This paper uses public datasets that consist of faccades, cityscapes, and maps within Pix2Pix and CycleGAN models. After training these models are evaluated on both distance metrics which measure the generating performance of the trained models.

  Inception Distance estimates the distance between a distribution of Inception-v3 features of real images, and those of images generated by the algorithm. We highlight important drawbacks of FID: Inception's poor representation of the rich and varied content generated by modern text-to-image models, incorrect normality assumptions, and poor sample complexity. We propose an alternative new metric, CMMD, based on richer CLIP embeddings and the maximum mean discrepancy distance with the Gaussian RBF kernel.

  Self-supervised methods have shown remarkable progress in learning high-level semantics and low-level temporal correspondence. We propose a novel semantic-aware masked slot attention on top of the fused semantic features and correspondence maps. We adopt semantic- and instance-level temporal consistency as self-supervision to encourage temporally coherent object-centric representations.

  Inception Distance (FID) is a metric for quantifying the distance between two distributions of images. We observe that FID is essentially a distance between sets of ImageNet class probabilities. Our results suggest caution against over-interpreting FID improvements, and underline the need for distribution metrics that are more perceptually uniform.
