Abstract
Methods, apparatus and techniques herein relates to determining directions in GAN latent space and obtaining disentangled controls over GAN output semantics, for example, to enable use of such to generating synthesized images such as for use to train another model or create an augmented reality The methods, apparatus and techniques herein, in accordance with embodiments, utilize the gradient directions of auxiliary networks to control semantics in GAN latent codes. It is shown that minimal amounts of labelled data with sizes as small as 60 samples can be used, which data can be obtained quickly with human supervision. It is also shown herein, in accordance with embodiments, to select important latent code channels with masks during manipulation, resulting in more disentangled controls.
