Learning a High Fidelity Pose Invariant Model for High-resolution Face Frontalization
Jie Cao, Yibo Hu, Hongwen Zhang, Ran He, Zhenan Sun
Face frontalization refers to the process of synthesizing the frontal view of a face from a given profile. Due to self-occlusion and appearance distortion in the wild, it is extremely challenging to recover faithful results and preserve texture details in a high-resolution. This paper proposes a High Fidelity Pose Invariant Model (HF-PIM) to produce photographic and identity-preserving results.
Learning SMaLL Predictors
Vikas Garg, Ofer Dekel, Lin Xiao
We introduce a new framework for learning in severely resource-constrained settings. Our technique delicately amalgamates the representational richness of multiple linear predictors with the sparsity of Boolean relaxations, and thereby yields classifiers that are compact, interpretable, and accurate. We provide a rigorous formalism of the learning problem, and establish fast convergence of the ensuing algorithm via relaxation to a minimax saddle point objective.
