Generating Semantic Adversarial Examples via Feature Manipulation
The vulnerability of deep neural networks to adversarial attacks has been
widely demonstrated (e.g., adversarial example attacks). Traditional attacks
perform unstructured pixel-wise perturbation to fool the classifier. An
alternative approach is to have perturbations in the latent space. However,
such perturbations are hard to control due to the lack of interpretability and
disentanglement. In this paper, we propose a more practical adversarial attack
by designing structured perturbation with semantic meanings. Our proposed
technique manipulates the semantic attributes of images via the disentangled
latent codes. The intuition behind our technique is that images in similar
domains have some commonly shared but theme-independent semantic attributes,
e.g. thickness of lines in handwritten digits, that can be bidirectionally
mapped to disentangled latent codes. We generate adversarial perturbation by
manipulating a single or a combination of these latent codes and propose two
unsupervised semantic manipulation approaches: vector-based disentangled
representation and feature map-based disentangled representation, in terms of
the complexity of the latent codes and smoothness of the reconstructed images.
We conduct extensive experimental evaluations on real-world image data to
demonstrate the power of our attacks for black-box classifiers. We further
demonstrate the existence of a universal, image-agnostic semantic adversarial
example.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1705.09064 by

Manipulating Attributes of Natural Scenes via Hallucination
In this study, we explore building a two-stage framework for enabling users
to directly manipulate high-level attributes of a natural scene. The key to our
approach is a deep generative network which can hallucinate images of a scene
as if they were taken at a different season (e.g. during winter), weather
condition (e.g. in a cloudy day) or time of the day (e.g. at sunset). Once the
scene is hallucinated with the given attributes, the corresponding look is then
transferred to the input image while preserving the semantic details intact,
giving a photo-realistic manipulation result. As the proposed framework
hallucinates what the scene will look like, it does not require any reference
style image as commonly utilized in most of the appearance or style transfer
approaches. Moreover, it allows to simultaneously manipulate a given scene
according to a diverse set of transient attributes within a single model,
eliminating the need of training multiple networks per each translation task.
Our comprehensive set of qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate the
effectiveness of our approach against the competing methods.Comment: Accepted for publication in ACM Transactions on Graphic
Semantic Photo Manipulation with a Generative Image Prior
Despite the recent success of GANs in synthesizing images conditioned on
inputs such as a user sketch, text, or semantic labels, manipulating the
high-level attributes of an existing natural photograph with GANs is
challenging for two reasons. First, it is hard for GANs to precisely reproduce
an input image. Second, after manipulation, the newly synthesized pixels often
do not fit the original image. In this paper, we address these issues by
adapting the image prior learned by GANs to image statistics of an individual
image. Our method can accurately reconstruct the input image and synthesize new
content, consistent with the appearance of the input image. We demonstrate our
interactive system on several semantic image editing tasks, including
synthesizing new objects consistent with background, removing unwanted objects,
and changing the appearance of an object. Quantitative and qualitative
comparisons against several existing methods demonstrate the effectiveness of
our method.Comment: SIGGRAPH 201
High-Resolution Image Synthesis and Semantic Manipulation with Conditional GANs
We present a new method for synthesizing high-resolution photo-realistic
images from semantic label maps using conditional generative adversarial
networks (conditional GANs). Conditional GANs have enabled a variety of
applications, but the results are often limited to low-resolution and still far
from realistic. In this work, we generate 2048x1024 visually appealing results
with a novel adversarial loss, as well as new multi-scale generator and
discriminator architectures. Furthermore, we extend our framework to
interactive visual manipulation with two additional features. First, we
incorporate object instance segmentation information, which enables object
manipulations such as removing/adding objects and changing the object category.
Second, we propose a method to generate diverse results given the same input,
allowing users to edit the object appearance interactively. Human opinion
studies demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing methods,
advancing both the quality and the resolution of deep image synthesis and
editing.Comment: v2: CVPR camera ready, adding more results for edge-to-photo example
Learning Compositional Visual Concepts with Mutual Consistency
Compositionality of semantic concepts in image synthesis and analysis is
appealing as it can help in decomposing known and generatively recomposing
unknown data. For instance, we may learn concepts of changing illumination,
geometry or albedo of a scene, and try to recombine them to generate physically
meaningful, but unseen data for training and testing. In practice however we
often do not have samples from the joint concept space available: We may have
data on illumination change in one data set and on geometric change in another
one without complete overlap. We pose the following question: How can we learn
two or more concepts jointly from different data sets with mutual consistency
where we do not have samples from the full joint space? We present a novel
answer in this paper based on cyclic consistency over multiple concepts,
represented individually by generative adversarial networks (GANs). Our method,
ConceptGAN, can be understood as a drop in for data augmentation to improve
resilience for real world applications. Qualitative and quantitative
evaluations demonstrate its efficacy in generating semantically meaningful
images, as well as one shot face verification as an example application.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, 4 tables, CVPR 201
