T2F - 2.0 Teaser (coming soon ...)

2.0 Teaser

Please note that all the faces in the above samples are generated ones. The T2F 2.0 will be using MSG-GAN for the image generation module instead of ProGAN. Please refer link for more info about MSG-GAN. This update to the repository will be comeing soon 👍.

T2F

Text-to-Face generation using Deep Learning. This project combines two of the recent architectures StackGAN and ProGAN for synthesizing faces from textual descriptions.
The project uses Face2Text dataset which contains 400 facial images and textual captions for each of them. The data can be obtained by contacting either the RIVAL group or the authors of the aforementioned paper.

Some Examples:

Architecture:

Architecture Diagram

The textual description is encoded into a summary vector using an LSTM network. The summary vector, i.e. Embedding (psy_t) as shown in the diagram is passed through the Conditioning Augmentation block (a single linear layer) to obtain the textual part of the latent vector (uses VAE like reparameterization technique) for the GAN as input. The second part of the latent vector is random gaussian noise. The latent vector so produced is fed to the generator part of the GAN, while the embedding is fed to the final layer of the discriminator for conditional distribution matching. The training of the GAN progresses exactly as mentioned in the ProGAN paper; i.e. layer by layer at increasing spatial resolutions. The new layer is introduced using the fade-in technique to avoid destroying previous learning.

Running the code:

The code is present in the implementation/ subdirectory. The implementation is done using the PyTorch framework. So, for running this code, please install PyTorch version 0.4.0 before continuing.

Code organization:
configs: contains the configuration files for training the network. (You can use any one, or create your own)
data_processing: package containing data processing and loading modules
networks: package contains network implementation
processed_annotations: directory stores output of running process_text_annotations.py script
process_text_annotations.py: processes the captions and stores output in processed_annotations/ directory. (no need to run this script; the pickle file is included in the repo.)
train_network.py: script for running the training the network

Sample configuration:
