报告题目:Learning to Generate Images
报告摘要:
Humans are avid consumers of visual content. Every day, people watch videos, play digital games, and share photos on social media. However, there is an asymmetry — while everybody can consume visual data, only a chosen few are talented enough to effectively express themselves visually. For the rest of us, most attempts at creating or manipulating realistic visual content end up quickly “falling off” the manifold of natural images. In this talk, we investigate a few data-driven approaches for preserving visual realism while creating and manipulating photographs. We use these methods as training wheels for visual content creation. We first propose to model visual realism directly from large-scale natural images. We then define a class of image synthesis and manipulation operations, constraining their outputs to look realistic according to the learned models. The presented methods not only help users easily synthesize more visually appealing photos but also enable new effects not possible before this work. This talk contains three parts. Part I describes discriminative methods for modeling the photorealism and photograph aesthetics. Part II presents approaches that directly model the natural image manifold via generative models and constrain the output of a photo editing tool to lie on this manifold. Part III combines the discriminative learning and generative modeling into an end-to-end image-to-image translation framework, where a network is trained to map inputs (such as user sketches) directly to natural looking results.
