We show how to learn a map that takes a content code, derived from a face image, and a randomly chosen style code to an anime image. We derive an adversarial loss from our simple and effective definitions of style and content. This adversarial loss guarantees the map is diverse – a very wide range of anime can be produced from a single content code. Under plausible assumptions, the map is not just diverse, but also correctly represents the probability of an anime, conditioned on an input face. In contrast, current multimodal generation procedures cannot capture the complex styles that appear in anime. Extensive quantitative experiments support the idea the map is correct. Extensive qualitative results show that the method can generate a much more diverse range of styles than SOTA comparisons. Finally, we show that our formalization of content and style allows us to perform video to video translation without ever training on videos Read More

Toshiba Claims To Have Created World’s Most Accurate Visual Question Answering AI
Toshiba Corporation claims to have developed the world’s most accurate and highly versatile Visual Question Answering (VQA) AI that can recognise not only people and objects but also colours, shapes, appearances and background details in images.
The AI overcomes the difficulty of answering questions on the positioning and appearance of people and objects and possesses the ability to learn the information required to handle a wide range of questions and answers.
Toshiba presented the technology at ICANN2021, the international conference for neural networks, on 14 September. Read More
