Happy Young Women, Grumpy Old Men? Emotion-Driven Demographic Biases in Synthetic Face Generation
Mengting Wei, Aditya Gulati, Guoying Zhao +1
Synthetic faces from text-to-image (T2I) models pervade digital media, yet their demographic biases under emotionally conditioned prompts remain poorly understood. We aim to system…
Towards Consistent and Controllable Image Synthesis for Face Editing
Mengting Wei, Tuomas Varanka, Yante Li +3
Face editing methods, essential for tasks like virtual avatars, digital human synthesis and identity preservation, have traditionally been built upon GAN-based techniques, while re…
MagicFace: High-Fidelity Facial Expression Editing with Action-Unit Control
Mengting Wei, Tuomas Varanka, Xingxun Jiang +2
We address the problem of facial expression editing by controling the relative variation of facial action-unit (AU) from the same person. This enables us to edit this specific pers…
MagicPortrait: Temporally Consistent Face Reenactment with 3D Geometric Guidance
Mengting Wei, Yante Li, Tuomas Varanka +2
In this study, we propose a method for video face reenactment that integrates a 3D face parametric model into a latent diffusion framework, aiming to improve shape consistency and…
