These People Do Not Exist

AI that generates human faces which have never been seen before.

This is a very basic unofficial implementation of the research paper "A Style-Based Generator Architecture for Generative Adversarial Networks" published by NVIDIA in 2018. Here is the official implementation.

---

What has been implemented from the paper

• Mapping of the latent vector to an intermediate latent vector, to reduce feature disentanglement
• Use of bilinear upsampling with normal convolutions over transpose convolutions
• Adaptive Instance Normalization
• Constant generator input
• Application of the latent vector to each block in the generator
• Addition of noise to each block in the generator
• Gradient penalty loss
• Mixing regularization

Training

The dataset used was the CelebaHQ dataset, scaled to 256x256 pixels.

Below are samples generated after 230000 iterations of training with a batch size of 12, a channel coefficient of 48, and a base learning rate of 1e-4.

Training on a Tesla P100 GPU using the above configuration will take approximately 24 hours.

Style Mixing

The following images were generated by mixing coarse styles (pose, gender, smile) from images on the left column with fine styles (skin color, hair color, etc) from images on the top row.
