Machine Learning for Image Processing
Image to Art

- Self-Attention (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.08318). Generator is pre trained UNET with spectral normalization and self-attention. Something that I got from Jason Antic's DeOldify(https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify), this made a huge difference, all of a sudden I started getting proper details around the facial features.
- Progressive Resizing (https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10196),(https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.02921.pdf,(https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.02921.pdf)). Progressive resizing takes this idea of gradually increasing the image size. In this project, the image size was gradually increased and learning rates were adjusted. Thanks to fast.ai for introducing me to Progressive resizing, this helps the model to generalize better as it sees many more different images.
- Generator Loss : Perceptual Loss/Feature Loss based on VGG16. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.08155.pdf).
