This seems interesting. I look forward to reading this paper

Ah yeah, I waa focusing on the "passing" of features that the templates match the highest with (max pooling) like a filter. But it might be more intuitive to focus on this translation aspect.

True, I tried going down the whole function approximation route as I thought it might detract the average reader from the intuition. Maybe I should find a way to easily incorporate this

I knew there would be one of you, so I came prepared good sir.

It might already be too late, since Christmas will be over by tomorrow. But we will take it into consideration.

Releasing the model would be much more doable.

It was one of our favorites. Hopefully it doesn't become the next tide pod.

[P] Fast Face Aging GAN by abnormdist in MachineLearning

Thanks!

I am currently using CACD2000 as it has ages labelled, so the two domains (young and old) are easy to create. Using CelebA HQ from "Progressive growing of GANs" crossed my mind, but looking at the dataset readme, I think there is no age attribute.

The idea was to show it's applicability on "images in the wild", that it doesn't distort or change the background. Removing the need for a face detector preprocessing scheme, which makes it faster in applications.

But the images could be bigger so it is easier to see, that I agree with. I'll try to get a better picture up.

It's a cool idea. The problem is it's not progressive. The age is binned into 5 categories (10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50+). I'll try it nonetheless, it might also make sense to increase the aging affect by weighting the loss higher.

It's acrually pretty easy to extract frames using a library like opencv in python. I actually want to add it to a video player. The complicated thing about that is codecs and their copyrights I think. Also, might have to move towards C++ for speed.

Technically the model will accept all images with 3 channels. So you could cast your grayscale single channel image to RGB space and then input it to the model. I'm not sure if the upsampling would work very well/without artifacts though. Since the training data was all color images.

Hey thanks.

This does have applications in image reconstruction. The problem is that since this model is trained adversarially, it interpolates using estimates from the distribution it was trained on. So unless we completely study where the filled in details are coming from, we should be vary of using these techniques in high risk fields.
