• Abstract summary: Fine-grained text to image synthesis involves generating images from texts that belong to different categories. An auxiliary classifier helps the discriminator classify the class of images, and helps the generator synthesize more accurate fine-grained images. We evaluate on several state-of-the-art methods on the commonly used CUB-200-2011 bird dataset and Oxford-102 flower dataset.

• Abstract: Fine-grained text to image synthesis involves generating images from texts that belong to different categories. In contrast to general text to image synthesis, in fine-grained synthesis there is high similarity between images of different subclasses, and there may be linguistic discrepancy among texts describing the same image. Recent Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), such as the Recurrent Affine Transformation (RAT) GAN model, are able to synthesize clear and realistic images from texts. However, GAN models ignore fine-grained level information. In this paper we propose an approach that incorporates an auxiliary classifier in the discriminator and a contrastive learning method to improve the accuracy of fine-grained details in images synthesized by RAT GAN. The auxiliary classifier helps the discriminator classify the class of images, and helps the generator synthesize more accurate fine-grained images. The contrastive learning method minimizes the similarity between images from different subclasses and maximizes the similarity between images from the same subclass. We evaluate on several state-of-the-art methods on the commonly used CUB-200-2011 bird dataset and Oxford-102 flower dataset, and demonstrated superior performance.

  We introduce SynCLR, a novel approach for learning visual representations exclusively from synthetic images and synthetic captions. We synthesize a large dataset of image captions using LLMs, then use an off-the-shelf text-to-image model to generate multiple images corresponding to each synthetic caption. We perform visual representation learning on these synthetic images via contrastive learning, treating images sharing the same caption as positive pairs.

  Few-shot image classification aims to learn an image classifier using only a small set of labeled examples per class. We propose DISEF, a novel approach which addresses the generalization challenge in few-shot learning using synthetic data. We validate our method in ten different benchmarks, consistently outperforming baselines and establishing a new state-of-the-art for few-shot classification.

• Recurrent Affine Transformation for Text-to-image Synthesis [5.256132101498471]
  Existing methods usually adaptively fuse suitable text information into the synthesis process with isolated fusion blocks. We propose a Recurrent Affine Transformation (RAT) for Generative Adrial Networks that connects all the fusion blocks with a recurrent neural network to model their long-term dependency. Being aware of matching image regions, text descriptions supervise the generator to synthesize more relevant image contents.

  The goal of this paper is to embed controllable factors, i.e., natural language descriptions, into image-to-image translation with generative adversarial networks. We propose four key components: (1) the implementation of part-of-speech tagging to filter out non-semantic words in the given description, (2) the adoption of an affine combination module to effectively fuse different modality text and image features, and (3) a novel refined multi-stage architecture to strengthen the differential ability of discriminators and the rectification ability of generators.
