This paper proposes the decision tree latent controller generative adversarial network (DTLC-GAN), an extension of a GAN that can learn hierarchically interpretable representations without relying on detailed supervision. To impose a hierarchical inclusion structure on latent variables, we incorpora…
In query expansion for object retrieval, there is substantial danger of query drift, where irrelevant information is inferred from pseudo-relevant images to enrich the query. To address this issue, we propose a query expansion method from the viewpoint of diffusion. It explores the structure of high…
Irregular scene text such as curved, rotated or perspective texts commonly appear in natural scene images due to different camera view points, special design purposes etc. In this work, we propose a text salience map guided model to recognize these arbitrary direction scene texts. We train a deep Fu…
Edited film alignment is the post-production process of finding small parts of unedited footage that temporally and spatially match an edited film. The huge amount of data to be processed makes significant downsampling of the videos essential in real-life applications. Simultaneously, professional u…
We present a generative attribute controller (GAC), a novel functionality for generating or editing an image while intuitively controlling large variations of an attribute. This controller is based on a novel generative model called the conditional filtered generative adversarial network (CFGAN), wh…
We propose a postfilter based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) to compensate for the differences between natural speech and speech synthesized by statistical parametric speech synthesis. In particular, we focus on the differences caused by over-smoothing, which makes the sounds muffled. Ove…
