Q & A
What is the main concept of style transfer in the context of the video?
-Style transfer is a technique that allows synthesizing a photo-style image from a painting-style image, as demonstrated by transforming a Monet-style painting into a photograph.
How does object transfiguration differ from style transfer?
-Object transfiguration is a process where objects within an image are replaced with different objects, such as turning a horse into a zebra, whereas style transfer changes the artistic style of an image.
What is the significance of cycle consistency loss in image translation?
-Cycle consistency loss ensures that the mapping between images is consistent when an image is translated and then translated back, maintaining the original image's integrity.
Why is it challenging to create a paired dataset for image translation?
-Creating a paired dataset is challenging because it requires having corresponding images for translation, which is labor-intensive and existing datasets are often too small for effective training.
What is the role of the adversarial loss in training GANs for image translation?
-Adversarial loss is used to train the generator to produce images that are indistinguishable from real images, fooling the discriminator into thinking they are real.
How does the generator in a cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN) work?
-The generator in a CycleGAN consists of an encoder, transformer, and decoder. The encoder extracts features, the transformer processes them through residual blocks, and the decoder generates the translated image.
What is the architecture of the discriminator in a CycleGAN?
-The discriminator in a CycleGAN is a patch-based discriminator, which can be implemented as a fully convolutional network, evaluating patches of the image to determine if they are real or generated.
What are the two types of losses used in CycleGANs and why are they necessary?
-The two types of losses used in CycleGANs are adversarial losses and cycle consistency losses. They are necessary to ensure that the generated images are not only realistic but also maintain consistency when translated back and forth between domains.
How does CycleGAN handle the lack of paired training data?
-CycleGAN handles the lack of paired training data by learning mappings between unpaired images, using adversarial and cycle consistency losses to guide the training process without the need for direct image pairs.
What are some applications of CycleGANs as mentioned in the video?
-Applications of CycleGANs include object transfiguration, photo enhancement, style transformation, and seasonal transformation, allowing for versatile image translations across various domains.

Transcripts
take a look at this famous painting by
Monet of the bank of Seine near audience
way France even without knowing what it
is we can all agree it is a painting of
someplace if photography had been
invented in 1873 that is when this
painting was painted what do you think
the scene would have looked like perhaps
something like this this is an example
of style transfer where we synthesize a
photo style image from a Monet styled
painting style transfer works the other
way to here's a photograph of the little
cassis harbor and France clearly this
was taken after Monet's time but if we
were alive in the 20th century how do
you think Monet's rendition of the scene
would look like if you've seen any of
his previous works then you may think it
looks something like this now consider
this picture of a horse just galloping
in the field how common is it to see I
don't know a zebra gallop in the field
not as common right oh look we just made
it happen by replacing the horse with
the zebra this is an example of object
Transfiguration now take a look at this
gorgeous summer landscape how do you
think the same scene would look in the
onset of winter perhaps something like
this an example of season transfer in
all of these examples we saw an image
and imagine how it would look in
different circumstances and in this
video we're gonna take a look at exactly
how we can implement this using a cycle
consistent adversarial Network I'm Ajay
how Thor and you're watching
so we saw some cool examples of what
exactly we want to do however to solve
this problem we need to actually look at
a much broader perspective we need to
somehow map the input image coordinates
x-two domain coordinates Y and this
problem is image to image translation if
you've been in computer vision for even
a little while you'll know this problem
isn't really a new one here's a dozen
papers that have been the problem to
death but every single one of these uses
paired image data their models are
trained on both the original image and
the corresponding acquired image after
translation but creating such a data set
is a pain and existing data sets are
usually too small to be of any use
hence we are looking for an algorithm
that works on unpaired image data where
we have a set of photo style images X
and we have another set of monet style
paintings Y but we don't have access to
Monet paintings for every single input
sample image such data is much easier to
gather we assume there exists a mapping
between images X to its corresponding
image and Y our goal is thus to train a
model to learn this mapping G a typical
objective we use to train the scan or
rather learn the mapping G is an
adversarial loss this forces the
generated images to be indistinguishable
from the real images y so let's map this
out an image Y hat is sampled from the
generator G parameterised by theta G the
distribution of real images in Y is
represented as say by P of Y
the goal of minimizing an adversarial
loss or the goal of optimizing any Gann
is to model the generator G such that
the image sample from it is
indistinguishable from the actual
distribution but matching distributions
in this case isn't enough remember we
don't have access to pair data there are
many parameters data G that could
potentially minimise the difference in
distributions so the chance of learning
a mapping G that makes meaningless
pairings between the input images domain
X and the output domain y is very high
this leads to completely meaningless
results in order to reduce the number of
possible mappings G that can be learned
we introduced a second type of loss this
is called cycle consistency loss here's
the idea if we translate for example a
sentence from English to French and then
translate it back from French to English
we should arrive back at the original
sentence inner image to image
translation problem we introduce another
mapping F which is the inverse of G that
is it maps an image in Y to some image
in the X domain
so we not only need a mapping of G that
generates similar distribution but we
also need one that is cyclo consistent
with respect to its inverse mapping F
this significantly reduces the number of
such possible mappings G can take now
that you have a high level intuition of
these two types of losses let's derive
them mathematically but before doing so
I'm gonna introduce some notation since
we have two mappings to learn G and F we
have two gans to train where each has a
discriminator and a generator
the generators actually generate images
for a given domain G will generate
images in the Y domain and F will
generate images in the X domain
discriminators distinguish between the
real images and the generated images let
dy be the discriminator that
distinguishes between the images in the
Y demesne and the ones that were
generated by the generator G of X let DX
be the discriminator that distinguishes
between the images in the X domain which
are real images and the ones that were
generated by the generator f so you can
say that Gann one for the X 2y mapping
is the G dy pair and again two for the y
2x mapping is the F DX pair now that we
have some notation let's start deriving
the adversarial losses we have two gains
so two adversarial loss is to compute
first consider the G dy pair for the
discriminator each input sample has to
be classified as either real or
generated will model the parameters up
again theta G that maximizes its
performance using maximum likelihood
estimation each sample comes from either
the original output space Y in which
case the corresponding label would be
real or it may come from the generated
space G in which case the corresponding
label would be fake each sample is
assumed to be independently and
identically distributed that is iid so
we can write it as a product of
probabilities we can further break this
down into K classifications TN is a one
Haughton code
factor that corresponds to the true
label of the input X n now consider the
log-likelihood denoted by the little L
and expand the inner Sigma over K
remember this is a binary classification
where K can take two values zero for
generated data and one for real data for
any sample xn only one of these terms is
nonzero so why is that it's because TN
is one hot encoded hence we can separate
real data samples in Y from generated
data samples in G making a substitution
for the discriminator notation we get
the following form we can approximate
the value taking the expectation over
both terms this is the likelihood that
the discriminator dy seeks to maximize
and the generator GX seeks to minimize
remember that theta G represents the
parameters of Gann one so that's the
parameters of both the generator G and
the discriminator dy let's put that in
there so that you don't get confused we
can derive a similar likelihood
expression for the second gun FD X and
determine its parameters let's do this
real quick so that you get the hang of
the math we are determining the
adversarial loss of the second gun with
the generator discriminator pair FD y
the likelihood estimation is initially
the same as before before moving on I
want to point out the x and y using this
part of the likelihood derivations are
these sample inputs to our network so X
is the input image and Y is the output
label which is either real or fake
but in other parts of this video I use X
and y to represent the input and output
image domains I'm sticking to this
notation because that's what you would
see in most other papers as well just
want to point this out so that there's
no confusion
once again we assume that the input
samples from the image domain X and the
generated images from B generator F are
iid so we can express them as a product
we break this down into K class
classification using TN as a one hot
encoded vector to signify the true
values like we did before we then take
the log-likelihood to make the
expression easily to compute because sum
of sons is easier to compute than
product of products this is a binary
classification where images are either
real 1 or generated 0 we can now
separate real data from the set X from
the generated data that is from F of Y
making the substitution for the
discriminator notation we get this
following form and we can approximate
the values taking the expectation over
both terms theta F is a set of
parameters of the second gun that needs
to be computed by maximizing this
likelihood since it is a set of
parameters that the discriminator DX
needs to maximize and the generator F
needs to minimize let's write this in
the form of a minim ax objective
combining the objectives for these two
gains we get the overall adversarial
objective the first term is computed
when the X domain is the input and Y
domain is the output while the reverse
is true for the second term let me just
include this to distinguish between the
two this is the adversarial objective
and the adversarial loss is just the
negative of this value that is the
negative log likelihood hope this
derivation clears things up let's talk
about the second type of loss that I
mentioned before cycle consistency loss
like I said for adversarial losses since
we have two gains to Train we have to
cycle consistency losses and we'll call
them the forward cycle consistency and
backward cycle consistency
for word cycle consistency is
established when the source image in X
matches its transformation after
applying G followed by its inverse F
similarly backward consistency is
established when an image in the output
space Y is retained when F and its
inverse G are applied in succession we
can define both losses as a measure of
the l1 distance the overall loss is a
linear combination of both the
adversarial loss and the cycle
consistency loss lambda will control the
relative importance of the adversarial
losses now solving these together we
find them two mapping functions G and F
so now we know exactly how to compute
the losses but what exactly is the
generator and the discriminator like
what are its components the generator
follows an encoder decoder architecture
with three main parts the encoder
transformer and decoder the encoder is a
set of three convolution layers so it
takes an image input and outputs a
feature volume the transformer takes the
feature volume and passes it through six
residual blocks its residual block is a
set of two convolution layers with a
bypass like I mentioned in the resident
architecture in my video on various CN n
architectures this bypass allows a
transformation of earlier layers to be
retained throughout the network hence we
can build deeper networks effectively
you can think of the transformer as 12
convolution blocks with bypasses now the
decoder is the exact opposite of the
encoder it takes a transformer input
which is another feature volume and
outputs a generated image
this is done with two layers of
deconvolution or transpose convolution
to rebuild from the low-level extracted
features then a final convolution layer
is applied to get the final generated
image the discriminator is a simple
architecture it takes an image input and
outputs probability of whether it is a
part of the real data set or the fake
generated image data set this
architecture is a patch gun it involves
chopping an image input into 70 cross 70
overlapping patches running a regular
discriminator over each patch and
averaging the results that is
determining overall whether it's either
real or fake but we can implement it as
a confident more specifically a fully
convolution network where the final
convolution layer outputs a single value
training this against the loss function
that we discussed the cycle gans
produced remarkable results on various
translation problems let's first compare
this to pics depicts which was trained
with a conditional again that used a
fully paired data set not only is it
able to create the sketch of photo
translation like pics depicts it does a
decent job in generating sketches from
the image we can perform style transfer
transforming a picture into works of art
in any artists style like Monet or van
Gogh we can also perform object
Transfiguration in these images we have
replaced all zebras with horses and all
horses with zebras
we can perform seasonal transformation
here the images of Yosemite and summer
have been translated into winter images
and vice versa photo enhancement we map
iPhone camera pictures to DLSR images so
we can observe a depth of field effect
for absolutely stunning images so what
did we learn
cycle consistent adversarial Nets are a
type of gun that can be used to solve
image to image translation problems
without paired dataset we defined and
derive the gans objective the loss is
divided into two parts adversarial
losses and cycle consistency losses the
architecture of a cycle gang consists of
two generator networks to generate new
images and to discriminator networks to
distinguish between the real and
generated images the generator network
consists of three parts an encoder which
is three conv layers a transformer which
is six procedural blocks and a decoder
which is 2d conv lares followed by a con
flare the discriminator networks are
patch gans which essentially can be
implemented as fully convolutional
networks the cycle consistent
adversarial Nets can solve image to
image translation problems like object
Transfiguration photo enhancement style
transformation and seasonal
transformation and that's all I have for
