Our presentation is organized for following reasons: In Section 2.3, we present the228 details of generative models, evaluated datasets, and analysis approaches (including our visualization229 tool, histogram matching attack, and human evaluation). They are independent of each other, thus230 we discuss them in parallel in the main paper. In Section 3.1, we investigate the feature extractors231 by first identifying their attention on visual semantics, followed by investigating their robustness to232 the histogram matching attack. Finally, we filter extractors that define similar representation spaces.233 These studies are gradually deepening, thus they are organized in a progressive manner.

A good metric, which promises a reliable comparison between solutions, is essential for any well-defined task. Unlike most vision tasks that have per-sample groundtruth, image synthesis tasks target generating unseen data and hence are usually evaluated through a distributional distance between one set of real samples and another set of generated samples. This study presents an empirical investigation into the evaluation of synthesis performance, with generative adversarial networks (GANs) as a representative of generative models. In particular, we make indepth analyses of various factors, including how to represent a data point in the representation space, how to calculate a fair distance using selected samples, and how many instances to use from each set. Extensive experiments conducted on multiple datasets and settings reveal several important findings. Firstly, a group of models that include both CNN-based and ViT-based architectures serve as reliable and robust feature extractors for measurement evaluation. Secondly, Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) provides a better comparison across various extractors and hierarchical layers in one model. Finally, CKA is more sampleefficient and enjoys better agreement with human judgment in characterizing the similarity between two internal data correlations. These findings contribute to the development of a new measurement system, which enables a consistent and reliable re-evaluation of current state-of-the-art generative models. 1

Inthis experiment, we only quantize the weights, not the activations, to compare the performance degradation as weight bit-width decreases. The mean squared errors (MSE) of the weights across different bit-widths are also reported. The name of the layer and the number of parameters in parenthesis are shown in the column. All numbers are results of the last epoch. Table A3: ResNet-32 trained with Adam on the CIFAR-100 dataset.
