Exemplar-based Pattern Synthesis with Implicit Periodic Field Network
Haiwei Chen, Jiayi Liu, Weikai Chen +2
Synthesis of ergodic, stationary visual patterns is widely applicable in texturing, shape modeling, and digital content creation. The wide applicability of this technique thus requ…
Fine-Grained Control of Artistic Styles in Image Generation
Xin Miao, Huayan Wang, Jun Fu +3
Recent advances in generative models and adversarial training have enabled artificially generating artworks in various artistic styles. It is highly desirable to gain more control…
Stochastic Whitening Batch Normalization
Shengdong Zhang, Ehsan Nezhadarya, Homa Fashandi +3
Batch Normalization (BN) is a popular technique for training Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). BN uses scaling and shifting to normalize activations of mini-batches to accelerate conver…
Improving Model Training by Periodic Sampling over Weight Distributions
Samarth Tripathi, Jiayi Liu, Unmesh Kurup +2
In this paper, we explore techniques centered around periodic sampling of model weights that provide convergence improvements on gradient update methods (vanilla \acs{SGD}, Momentu…
