News from the AI world
Beyond Face Rotation: Global and Local Perception GAN for Photorealistic and Identity Preserving Frontal View Synthesis
This paper proposes a Two-Pathway Generative Adversarial Network (TP-GAN) for photorealistic frontal view synthesis by simultaneously perceiving global structures and local details. Experimental results demonstrate that the method not only presents compelling perceptual results but also outperforms state-of-theart results on large pose face recognition.
The Role of Multi-Agent Learning in Artificial Intelligence Research
In this lecture, Thore Graepel explains the important role multi-agent learning has to play in artificial intelligence research and the challenges it presents. Specifically, he explains two example projects from multi-agent learning work at DeepMind.
