펀디멘탈팀 고형권 님의 STYLE GAN2 논문 리뷰 입니다
지난번 리뷰 했던 Style gan에 이어, Style gan 2 의 논문 리뷰 입니다! Style Gan은 계속해서 Sota 자리를 유지했지만 Style Gan 내부적으로 가끔씩 물방울 모양의 artifact가 inference과정에서 큰 방해가 됨을 확인했습니다. 이와 더불어 StyleGAN에서는 AdaIN이 feature map의 평균과 분산을 normalize했지만, StyleGAN2에서는 convolution weight를 normalize한다. AdaIN에서 평균을 제거하고 표준편차만 사용하였고, 표준편차만으로도 충분하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 또한. bias와 noise를 block 외부로 빼서 style과 noise의 영향력을 독립시켰습니다.
기존에는 noise의 영향력이 style의 크기에 반비례하였으나, noise의 변화에 따른 효과가 분명해졌습니다. 이는 Instance Normalization과 수학적으로 동일한 방법은 아니지만, output feature map을 standard unit standard deviation을 갖도록 해주어 학습을 더욱 안정적으로 만들며 물방울 artifact를 없애는데도 큰 성과를 이루어 냈습니다!
오늘도 많은 관심 미리 감사드립니다!

We investigate conditional adversarial networks as a general-purpose solution to image-to-image translation problems. These networks not only learn the mapping from input image to output image, but also learn a loss function to train this mapping. This makes it possible to apply the same generic approach to problems that traditionally would require very different loss formulations. We demonstrate that this approach is effective at synthesizing photos from label maps, reconstructing objects from edge maps, and colorizing images, among other tasks. As a community, we no longer hand-engineer our mapping functions, and this work suggests we can achieve reasonable results without hand-engineering our loss functions either.

Code: https://github.com/compthree/variational-autoencoder
An autoencoder is a machine learning algorithm that represents unlabeled high-dimensional data as points in a low-dimensional space. A variational autoencoder (VAE) is an autoencoder that represents unlabeled high-dimensional data as low-dimensional probability distributions. In addition to data compression, the randomness of the VAE algorithm gives it a second powerful feature: the ability to generate new data similar to its training data. For example, a VAE trained on images of faces can generate a compelling image of a new "fake" face. It can also map new features onto input data, such as glasses or a mustache onto the image of a face that initially lacks these features. In this talk, we will survey VAE model designs that use deep learning, and we will implement a basic VAE in TensorFlow. We will also demonstrate the encoding and generative capabilities of VAEs and discuss their industry applications.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

32. StyleGAN3 (Alias-Free GAN)
Karras et al. Alias-Free Generative Adversarial Networks, 2021
StyleGAN2 problem
Despite their hierarchical convolutional nature, the synthesis process of typical generative
adversarial networks depends on absolute pixel coordinates in an unhealthy manner.
Unintentional positional references available to the intermediate layers:
● through image borders
● per-pixel noise inputs
● positional encodings, and aliasing
Authors identified two sources:
● non-ideal upsampling filters (e.g., nearest, bilinear, strided convolutions)
● the pointwise application of nonlinearities such as ReLU.
33. StyleGAN3 (Alias-Free GAN)
One-line idea:
Use contiguous space equivariant operations to remove alias and
borders-using effects.
Karras et al. Alias-Free Generative Adversarial Networks, 2021
37. StyleGAN3 (Alias-Free GAN)
Upsampling/downsampling.
● Identity operations in the continuous space, we just need to change sampling
rate.
● Upsampling ~= add zeros for interleaving and convolve with discretized filter
● Downsampling = low-pass filter and sampling =
~= discrete convolution + dropping points
Karras et al. Alias-Free Generative Adversarial Networks, 2021
42. StyleGAN3 (Alias-Free GAN)
● In FFHQ (1024×1024) the three generators (StyleGan2, Alias-Free-T,
Alias-Free-R) had 30.0M, 22.3M and 15.8M parameters, while the training times
were 1106, 1576 (+42%) and 2248 (+103%) GPU hours.
● The present research consumed 92 GPU years and 225 MWh of electricity on
an in-house cluster of NVIDIA V100s.
