Chinese version of neural style transfer introduction article

Neural Style Transfer

Use a good feature extration

Find an image $\overrightarrow x$ has feature map which

Close to $\overrightarrow p$ content image's deep feature respect to pixel

Close to $\overrightarrow a$ style image's deep feature respect to statistic

Neural Style Transfer

$\text{content loss : }L_{\text{content}}^{layer}(y, CI) = \sum_{i,j,c} (F_{layer}(y)(i,j,c)-F_{layer}(CI)(i,j,c))^{2}$

$\text{style loss : } L_{\text{style}}^{layer}(y, SI) = \sum_{c_1,c_2}(G_y^{layer}(c_1, c_2)-G_{SI}^{layer}(c_1, c_2))^{2}$

$\text{gram matrix : } G^{layer}(I,c1,c2) = \sum_{i,j}F_{layer}(I)(i,j,c1)\times F_{layer}(I)(i,j,c2)$

Neural Style Transfer: A Review

Instance Normalization

Conditional Instance Normalization

Different style with

Same : Convolution Parameter
Different : Scale & Bias
(1 style cost about 0.2% compare to ConvParams)

Note : Since the computation architecture, we do not need bias term in ConvLayer

"""Conditional Instance Normalization in Pytorch"""
import torch
from torch import nn
from functools import partial

class CIN(nn.Module):
  def __init__(self, n_channels, n_conditionals):
    self.norm  = nn.InstanceNorm2d(n_channels)
    self.scale = nn.Parameter(
      1 + 0.02 * (
        torch.randn(n_conditionals, n_channels)

Before StyleGAN

A drawback for traditional generator was pointed out at Sec 3.2 in StyleGAN:

For traditional generator

All variaition should be embedded in Z.

However, there are plenty of natural variation in data

For human face as example, somethings are stochastic : such as the exact placement of hairs, stubble, freckles, or skin pores.

It will decrease the model capacity if we want to embed all this things in the input noise.

StyleGAN

Why named as "Style"GAN

Following slides are focus on the genearator and some tricks, will not discuss about discriminator.

Lots of things are omitted in this slide.

Please read the original papers if you are intersting to this branch.

Generator

Some Notes

All 3 x 3 conv with same channels
Last layer is 1x1 conv with 3 channels output
Input for $g$ is a learnable constant tensor
Bilinear upsample
Latent $Z$ is normlized to $|Z|_2 = 1$
Gaussian (0,1) noise is applied before each AdaIN layer
AdaIN's Scale&Bais are same for each layer for default setting
AdaIN just adjust the global statistics, have no localize information in it.

Result (Metrics)

(B)~(E) is straight forward

Mixing Regularizaition during Training

Sample 2 Latent $Z_1, Z_2$

Get $W_1, W_2$

Random sample a layer, use $W_1 / W_2$ before/after that layer

Result (Metrics)

Mapping

Style Mixing Result

Coarse Styles : pose, hair, face shape

Middle Styles : facial features, eyes

Mind Styles : Color scheme

Noise Result

Coarse Noise : large-scale curling of hair

Fine Noise : finer detail

No Noise: featureless "painterly" look

More About Noise

Style Truncation Result

StyleGAN2

StyleGAN has sevreal characteristic artifact.

In StyleGAN2, they modify the model architecture and training methods to address them.

StyleGAN Generator Revisited

StyleGAN Generator Revisited

Notes In StyleGAN

The magnitudes of original feature map will be drop in AdaIn operator
The scale of bias&noise will be affected by the current style scale & conv layer
AdaIN's standard deviation depends on input explicitly.
Just a feedforward model(No shortcut, No residual)

StyleGAN2

Notes In StyleGAN / StyleGAN2

The magnitudes of original feature map will be drop in AdaIn operator
Not adjust mean in their try
The scale of bias&noise will be affected by the current style scale & conv layer
Move them out after norm std
AdaIN's standard deviation depends on input explicitly.
Assume the statastic, do not modify the input statastic explicitly. Direct apply conditional scale to the conv kernel, and normalize the kernel parameter. (d)
Just a feedforward model(No shortcut, No residual)
More experiment for shortcut, residual
(not in this slide)

StyleGAN2 Weight Demodulation

Assume the statastic, do not modify the input statastic explicitly. Direct apply conditional scale to the conv kernel, and normalize the kernel parameter.

Notation :
i/j ↔ in/out channel

k ↔ spatial footprint

More experiment for shortcut, residual

Perceptual path length(PPL)

Described in StyleGAN 1

$d$ is VGG16 perceptual distance

slerp is spherical interpolation

lerp is normal linear interpolation

Adaptive Discriminator Augmentation

Rise p with fix step if think D is overfit to training data

The heuristic in the paper is

raise $p$ while $r_t >= 0.6$

decrease $p$ while $r_t < 0.6$

Global Directions

Where 3 mappers are just simple 4 layer dense.

Settings

Default : $\lambda_{L2}:0.8, \lambda_{ID}:0.1$
Trump : $\lambda_{L2}:2, \lambda_{ID}:0$

Notation:

$s$ : Style Code
$i$ : CLIP Image Encode
$t$ : CLIP Text Encode

Motivation :

Find the collinearity between

Style Code Direction $\Delta s$
Text Encode Direction $\Delta t$

Assume :

Image Encode Direction $\Delta i$ = $\Delta t$

Channelwise relevance

$\Delta i_{c} = E_{s\in S}[I_{CLIP}(G(s+\alpha\Delta s_c)) -I_{CLIP}(G(s+\alpha\Delta s_c))]$

Inference Time

StyleGAN-NADA: CLIP-Guided Domain Adaptation of Image Generators

(NADA) Non-Adversarial Domain Adaptation

Zero data domain transform.

Latent Mapper Regularizer

Ulike StyleCLIP.

$M$ is not learning residual here

Layer-Freezing

To overcome mode collapse or overfitting for domain changing task

Find top k layers with change fastest in style $W+$

Then optimize the $\mathcal{L}_{direction}$ for top k evident conv block.

Latent-Mapper ‘Mining’

Some times, the domain trainsfer is not complete

Such as the generated result contain both "dog" and "cat"

To over come this issue, they training a mapper.
