This work proposes the continuous conditional generative adversarial network (CcGAN), the first generative model for image generation conditional on continuous, scalar conditions (termed regression labels). Existing conditional GANs (cGANs) are mainly designed for categorical conditions (eg, class labels); conditioning on regression labels is mathematically distinct and raises two fundamental problems:(P1) Since there may be very few (even zero) real images for some regression labels, minimizing existing empiric

A conditional Generative Adversarial Network allows for generating samples conditioned on certain external information. Being able to recover latent and conditional vectors from a condi- tional GAN can be potentially valuable in various applications,
ranging from image manipulation for entertaining purposes to diagnosis of the neural networks for security purposes. In this work, we show that it is possible to recover both latent and conditional vectors from generated images given the generator of a conditional generative adversarial network. Such a recovery is not trivial due to the often multi-layered non-linearity of deep neural networks. Furthermore, the effect of such recovery applied on real natural images are investigated. We discovered that there exists a gap between the recovery performance on generated and real images, which we believe comes from the difference between generated data distribution and real data distribution. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the recovered conditional vectors and the reconstructed images from these recovered vectors quantitatively and qualitatively, showing promising results.
Subsampling unconditional generative adversarial networks (GANs) to improve the overall image quality has been studied recently. However, these methods often require high training costs (e.g., storage space, parameter tuning) and may be inefficient o
r even inapplicable for subsampling conditional GANs, such as class-conditional GANs and continuous conditional GANs (CcGANs), when the condition has many distinct values. In this paper, we propose an efficient method called conditional density ratio estimation in feature space with conditional Softplus loss (cDRE-F-cSP). With cDRE-F-cSP, we estimate an images conditional density ratio based on a novel conditional Softplus (cSP) loss in the feature space learned by a specially designed ResNet-34 or sparse autoencoder. We then derive the error bound of a conditional density ratio model trained with the proposed cSP loss. Finally, we propose a rejection sampling scheme, termed cDRE-F-cSP+RS, which can subsample both class-conditional GANs and CcGANs efficiently. An extra filtering scheme is also developed for CcGANs to increase the label consistency. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and Tiny-ImageNet datasets show that cDRE-F-cSP+RS can substantially improve the Intra-FID and FID scores of BigGAN. Experiments on RC-49 and UTKFace datasets demonstrate that cDRE-F-cSP+RS also improves Intra-FID, Diversity, and Label Score of CcGANs. Moreover, to show the high efficiency of cDRE-F-cSP+RS, we compare it with the state-of-the-art unconditional subsampling method (i.e., DRE-F-SP+RS). With comparable or even better performance, cDRE-F-cSP+RS only requires about textbf{10}% and textbf{1.7}% of the training costs spent respectively on CIFAR-10 and UTKFace by DRE-F-SP+RS.
When trained on multimodal image datasets, normal Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are usually outperformed by class-conditional GANs and ensemble GANs, but conditional GANs is restricted to labeled datasets and ensemble GANs lack efficiency. W
e propose a novel GAN variant called virtual conditional GAN (vcGAN) which is not only an ensemble GAN with multiple generative paths while adding almost zero network parameters, but also a conditional GAN that can be trained on unlabeled datasets without explicit clustering steps or objectives other than the adversary loss. Inside the vcGANs generator, a learnable ``analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module maps a slice of the inputted multivariate Gaussian noise to discrete/digital noise (virtual label), according to which a selector selects the corresponding generative path to produce the sample. All the generative paths share the same decoder network while in each path the decoder network is fed with a concatenation of a different pre-computed amplified one-hot vector and the inputted Gaussian noise. We conducted a lot of experiments on several balanced/imbalanced image datasets to demonstrate that vcGAN converges faster and achieves improved Frechet Inception Distance (FID). In addition, we show the training byproduct that the ADC in vcGAN learned the categorical probability of each mode and that each generative path generates samples of specific mode, which enables class-conditional sampling.

Face aging is the task aiming to translate the faces in input images to designated ages. To simplify the problem, previous methods have limited themselves only able to produce discrete age groups, each of which consists of ten years. Consequently, th
e exact ages of the translated results are unknown and it is unable to obtain the faces of different ages within groups. To this end, we propose the continuous face aging generative adversarial networks (CFA-GAN). Specifically, to make the continuous aging feasible, we propose to decompose image features into two orthogonal features: the identity and the age basis features. Moreover, we introduce the novel loss function for identity preservation which maximizes the cosine similarity between the original and the generated identity basis features. With the qualitative and quantitative evaluations on MORPH, we demonstrate the realistic and continuous aging ability of our model, validating its superiority against existing models. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to handle continuous target ages.
We consider the hypothesis testing problem of detecting conditional dependence, with a focus on high-dimensional feature spaces. Our contribution is a new test statistic based on samples from a generative adversarial network designed to approximate d
irectly a conditional distribution that encodes the null hypothesis, in a manner that maximizes power (the rate of true negatives). We show that such an approach requires only that density approximation be viable in order to ensure that we control type I error (the rate of false positives); in particular, no assumptions need to be made on the form of the distributions or feature dependencies. Using synthetic simulations with high-dimensional data we demonstrate significant gains in power over competing methods. In addition, we illustrate the use of our test to discover causal markers of disease in genetic data.
