Instance-Conditioned GAN
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can generate near photo realistic images in narrow domains such as human faces. Yet, modeling complex distributions of datasets such as ImageNet and COCO-Stuff remains challenging in unconditional settings. In this paper, we take inspiration from kernel density estimation techniques and introduce a non-parametric approach to modeling distributions of complex datasets. We partition the data manifold into a mixture of overlapping neighborhoods described by a datapoint and its nearest neighbors, and introduce a model, called instance-conditioned GAN (IC-GAN), which learns the distribution around each datapoint. Experimental results on ImageNet and COCO-Stuff show that IC-GAN significantly improves over unconditional models and unsupervised data partitioning baselines. Moreover, we show that IC-GAN can effortlessly transfer to datasets not seen during training by simply changing the conditioning instances, and still generate realistic images. Finally, we extend IC-GAN to the class-conditional case and show semantically controllable generation and competitive quantitative results on ImageNet; while improving over BigGAN on ImageNet-LT.

Facebook Introduces New Image Generation Model Called Instance-Conditioned GAN
Facebook recently introduced a new image generation model called'Instance-Conditioned GAN (IC-GAN). This new model creates high-quality, diverse images with or without input images present in the training set. Compared to traditional methods, IC-GANs can generate realistic, unforeseen image combinations. The PyTorch code for Instance-Conditioned GAN is available on GitHub. GAN, or generative adversarial network, is one of the popular AI methods to create images, be it abstract collages or photorealistic pictures.
