Generative image-to-image translation networks

MARCH 31, 2022

I've been learning about different generative neural networks and publications, trying to track down the work on top of which informative drawings has been built. A few of the papers I've been looking at include Pix2Pix, CycleGAN, Apple's S+U (Simulated + Unsupervised), NVIDIA's UNIT, CUT (and FastCut, and SingleCUT), which stands for contrastive learning for unpaired image-to-image translation, among others. I think there's potential to train these networks to translate line drawings to look like my hand sketches and viceversa.
