Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks
We investigate conditional adversarial networks as a general-purpose solution
to image-to-image translation problems. These networks not only learn the
mapping from input image to output image, but also learn a loss function to
train this mapping. This makes it possible to apply the same generic approach
to problems that traditionally would require very different loss formulations.
We demonstrate that this approach is effective at synthesizing photos from
label maps, reconstructing objects from edge maps, and colorizing images, among
other tasks. Indeed, since the release of the pix2pix software associated with
this paper, a large number of internet users (many of them artists) have posted
their own experiments with our system, further demonstrating its wide
applicability and ease of adoption without the need for parameter tweaking. As
a community, we no longer hand-engineer our mapping functions, and this work
suggests we can achieve reasonable results without hand-engineering our loss
functions either.Comment: Website: https://phillipi.github.io/pix2pix/, CVPR 201

Edge Potential Functions (EPF) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) for Edge-Based Matching of Visual Objects
Edges are known to be a semantically rich representation of the contents of a digital image. Nevertheless, their use in practical applications is sometimes limited by computation and complexity constraints. In this paper, a new approach is presented that addresses the problem of matching visual objects in digital images by combining the concept of Edge Potential Functions (EPF) with a powerful matching tool based on Genetic Algorithms (GA). EPFs can be easily calculated starting from an edge map and provide a kind of attractive pattern for a matching contour, which is conveniently exploited by GAs. Several tests were performed in the framework of different image matching applications. The results achieved clearly outline the potential of the proposed method as compared to state of the art methodologies. (c) 2007 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.

Exploiting Social Network Structure for Person-to-Person Sentiment Analysis
Person-to-person evaluations are prevalent in all kinds of discourse and
important for establishing reputations, building social bonds, and shaping
public opinion. Such evaluations can be analyzed separately using signed social
networks and textual sentiment analysis, but this misses the rich interactions
between language and social context. To capture such interactions, we develop a
model that predicts individual A's opinion of individual B by synthesizing
information from the signed social network in which A and B are embedded with
sentiment analysis of the evaluative texts relating A to B. We prove that this
problem is NP-hard but can be relaxed to an efficiently solvable hinge-loss
Markov random field, and we show that this implementation outperforms text-only
and network-only versions in two very different datasets involving
community-level decision-making: the Wikipedia Requests for Adminship corpus
and the Convote U.S. Congressional speech corpus
Separation of line drawings based on split faces for 3D object reconstruction
© 2014 IEEE. Reconstructing 3D objects from single line drawings is often desirable in computer vision and graphics applications. If the line drawing of a complex 3D object is decomposed into primitives of simple shape, the object can be easily reconstructed. We propose an effective method to conduct the line drawing separation and turn a complex line drawing into parametric 3D models. This is achieved by recursively separating the line drawing using two types of split faces. Our experiments show that the proposed separation method can generate more basic and simple line drawings, and its combination with the example-based reconstruction can robustly recover wider range of complex parametric 3D objects than previous methods.This work was supported by grants from Science, Industry, Trade, and Information Technology Commission of Shenzhen Municipality (No. JC201005270378A),
