In plain words: Two networks learn to turn images from one domain into the other and back, so the computer figures out the pairing itself from unpaired examples. It transfers style between domains while keeping face identity and orientation intact, unlike usual training that needs matched pairs.

Abstract · Learning to Discover Cross-Domain Relations with Generative Adversarial Networks

While humans easily recognize relations between data from different domains without any supervision, learning to automatically discover them is in general very challenging and needs many ground-truth pairs that illustrate the relations. To avoid costly pairing, we address the task of discovering cross-domain relations given unpaired data. We propose a method based on generative adversarial networks that learns to discover relations between different domains (DiscoGAN). Using the discovered relations, our proposed network successfully transfers style from one domain to another while preserving key attributes such as orientation and face identity. Source code for official implementation is publicly available https://github.com/SKTBrain/DiscoGAN
