• Abstract summary: This paper proposes the use of Parallel Visual Attention (PVA) in conjunction with diffusion models to improve inpainting results. We train the added attention modules and identity encoder on CelebAHQ-IDI, a dataset proposed for identity-preserving face inpainting. Experiments demonstrate that PVA attains unparalleled identity resemblance in both face inpainting and face inpainting with language guidance tasks.

• Abstract: Face inpainting is important in various applications, such as photo restoration, image editing, and virtual reality. Despite the significant advances in face generative models, ensuring that a person's unique facial identity is maintained during the inpainting process is still an elusive goal. Current state-of-the-art techniques, exemplified by MyStyle, necessitate resource-intensive fine-tuning and a substantial number of images for each new identity. Furthermore, existing methods often fall short in accommodating user-specified semantic attributes, such as beard or expression. To improve inpainting results, and reduce the computational complexity during inference, this paper proposes the use of Parallel Visual Attention (PVA) in conjunction with diffusion models. Specifically, we insert parallel attention matrices to each cross-attention module in the denoising network, which attends to features extracted from reference images by an identity encoder. We train the added attention modules and identity encoder on CelebAHQ-IDI, a dataset proposed for identity-preserving face inpainting. Experiments demonstrate that PVA attains unparalleled identity resemblance in both face inpainting and face inpainting with language guidance tasks, in comparison to various benchmarks, including MyStyle, Paint by Example, and Custom Diffusion. Our findings reveal that PVA ensures good identity preservation while offering effective language-controllability. Additionally, in contrast to Custom Diffusion, PVA requires just 40 fine-tuning steps for each new identity, which translates to a significant speed increase of over 20 times.

  We propose a novel approach that better harnesses diffusion models for face-swapping. We introduce a mask shuffling technique during inpainting training, which allows us to create a so-called universal model for swapping. Ours is a relatively unified approach and so it is resilient to errors in other off-the-shelf models.

• Disentangling Identity and Pose for Facial Expression Recognition [54.50747989860957]
  We propose an identity and pose disentangled facial expression recognition (IPD-FER) model to learn more discriminative feature representation. For identity encoder, a well pre-trained face recognition model is utilized and fixed during training, which alleviates the restriction on specific expression training data. By comparing the difference between synthesized neutral and expressional images of the same individual, the expression component is further disentangled from identity and pose.
