Real-world designs usually consist of parts with hierarchical dependencies, i.e., the geometry of one component (a child shape) is dependent on another (a parent shape). We propose a method for synthesizing this type of design. It decomposes the problem of synthesizing the whole design into synthesizing each component separately but keeping the inter-component dependencies satisfied. This method constructs a two-level generative adversarial network to train two generative models for parent and child shapes, respectively. We then use the trained generative models to synthesize or explore parent and child shapes separately via a parent latent representation and infinite child latent representations, each conditioned on a parent shape. We evaluate and discuss the disentanglement and consistency of latent representations obtained by this method. We show that shapes change consistently along any direction in the latent space. This property is desirable for design exploration over the latent space.

Widely used recommendation systems do not meet all industry requirements, so the search for more advanced methods for creating recommendations continues. The proposed new methods based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have a theoretical comparison with other recommendation algorithms; however, real-world comparisons are needed to introduce new methods in the industry. In our work, we compare recommendations from the Generative Adversarial Network with recommendation from the Deep Semantic Similarity Model (DSSM) on real-world case of airflight tickets. We found a way to train the GAN so that users receive appropriate recommendations, and during A/B testing, we noted that the GAN-based recommendation system can successfully compete with other neural networks in generating recommendations. One of the advantages of the proposed approach is that the GAN training process avoids a negative sampling, which causes a number of distortions in the final ratings of recommendations. Due to the ability of the GAN to generate new objects from the distribution of the training set, we assume that the Conditional GAN is able to solve the cold start problem.

Abstract Real-world designs usually consist of parts with interpart dependencies, i.e., the geometry of one part is dependent on one or multiple other parts. We can represent such dependency in a part dependency graph. This paper presents a method for synthesizing these types of hierarchical designs using generative models learned from examples. It decomposes the problem of synthesizing the whole design into synthesizing each part separately but keeping the interpart dependencies satisfied. Specifically, this method constructs multiple generative models, the interaction of which is based on the part dependency graph. We then use the trained generative models to synthesize or explore each part design separately via a low-dimensional latent representation, conditioned on the corresponding parent part(s). We verify our model on multiple design examples with different interpart dependencies. We evaluate our model by analyzing the constraint satisfaction performance, the synthesis quality, the latent space quality, and the effects of part dependency depth and branching factor. This paper’s techniques for capturing dependencies among parts lay the foundation for learned generative models to extend to more realistic engineering systems where such relationships are widespread.

Potential Applications

The ability to learn robust, resizable feature representations from unlabeled data has potential applications in a wide variety of machine learning tasks. One way to create such representations is to train deep generative models that can learn to capture the complex distribution of real-world data. Generative adversarial network (GAN) approaches have shown impressive results in producing generative models of images, but relatively little work has been done on evaluating the performance of these methods for the learning representation of natural language, both in supervised and unsupervised settings at the document, sentence, and aspect level. Extensive research validation experiments were performed by leveraging the 20 Newsgroups corpus, the Movie Review (MR) Dataset, and the Finegrained Sentiment Dataset (FSD). Our experimental analysis suggests that GANs can successfully learn representations of natural language texts at all three aforementioned levels.

In this paper, we propose a new network model using variational learning to improve the learning stability of generative adversarial networks (GAN). The proposed method can be easily applied to improve the learning stability of GAN-based models that were developed for various purposes, given that the variational autoencoder (VAE) is used as a secondary network while the basic GAN structure is maintained. When the gradient of the generator vanishes in the learning process of GAN, the proposed method receives gradient information from the decoder of the VAE that maintains gradient stably, so that the learning processes of the generator and discriminator are not halted. The experimental results of the MNIST and the CelebA datasets verify that the proposed method improves the learning stability of the networks by overcoming the vanishing gradient problem of the generator, and maintains the excellent data quality of the conventional GAN-based generative models.

The Generative Models have gained considerable attention in the field of unsupervised learning via a new and practical framework called Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) due to its outstanding data generation capability. Many models of GAN have proposed, and several practical applications emerged in various domains of computer vision and machine learning. Despite GAN's excellent success, there are still obstacles to stable training. In this model, we aim to generate human faces through un-labelled data via the help of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks. The applications for generating faces are vast in the field of image processing, entertainment, and other such industries. Our resulting model is successfully able to generate human faces from the given un-labelled data and random noise.

In the field of deep learning, the generative model did not attract much attention until GANs (generative adversarial networks) appeared. In 2014, Google’s Ian Goodfellow proposed a generative model called GANs. GANs use different structures and objective functions from the existing generative model. For example, GANs use two neural networks: a generator that creates a realistic image, and a discriminator that distinguishes whether the input is real or synthetic. If there are no problems in the training process, GANs can generate images that are difficult even for experts to distinguish in terms of authenticity. Currently, GANs are the most researched subject in the field of computer vision, which deals with the technology of image style translation, synthesis, and generation, and various models have been unveiled. The issues raised are also improving one by one. In image synthesis, BEGAN (Boundary Equilibrium Generative Adversarial Network), which outperforms the previously announced GANs, learns the latent space of the image, while balancing the generator and discriminator. Nonetheless, BEGAN also has a mode collapse wherein the generator generates only a few images or a single one. Although BEGAN-CS (Boundary Equilibrium Generative Adversarial Network with Constrained Space), which was improved in terms of loss function, was introduced, it did not solve the mode collapse. The discriminator structure of BEGAN-CS is AE (AutoEncoder), which cannot create a particularly useful or structured latent space. Compression performance is not good either. In this paper, this characteristic of AE is considered to be related to the occurrence of mode collapse. Thus, we used VAE (Variational AutoEncoder), which added statistical techniques to AE. As a result of the experiment, the proposed model did not cause mode collapse but converged to a better state than BEGAN-CS.

Linear predictive coding is an extremely effective voice generation method that operates through simple process. However, linear predictive coding–generated voices have limited variations and exhibit excessive noise. To resolve these problems, this article proposes an artificial intelligence model that combines a denoise autoencoder with generative adversarial networks. This model generates voices with similar semantics through the random input from the latent space of generator. The experimental results indicate that voices generated exclusively by generative adversarial networks exhibit excessive noise. To solve this problem, a denoise autoencoder was connected to the generator for denoising. The experimental results prove the feasibility of the proposed voice generation method. In the future, this method can be applied in robots and voice generation applications to increase the humanistic language expression ability of robots and enable robots to demonstrate more humanistic and natural speaking performance.

In this paper, we presents an apporch for real-world human face close-up images cartoonization. We use generative adversarial network combined with an attention mechanism to convert real-world face pictures and cartoon-style images as unpaired data sets. At present, the image-to-image translation model has been able to successfully transfer style and content. However, some problems still exist in the task of cartoonizing human faces:Hunman face has many details, and the content of the image is easy to lose details after the image is translated. the quality of the image generated by the model is defective. The model in this paper uses the generative adversarial network combined with the attention mechanism, and proposes a new generative adversarial network combined with the attention mechanism to deal with these problems. The channel attention mechanism is embedded between the upper and lower sampling layers of the generator network, to avoid increasing the complexity of the model while conveying the complete details of the underlying information. After comparing the experimental results of FID, PSNR, MSE three indicators and the size of the model parameters, the new model network proposed in this paper avoids the complexity of the model while achieving a good balance in the conversion task of style and content.

Effective Models

One of the greatest limitations in the field of EEG-based emotion recognition is the lack of training samples, which makes it difficult to establish effective models for emotion recognition. Inspired by the excellent achievements of generative models in image processing, we propose a data augmentation model named VAE-D2GAN for EEG-based emotion recognition using a generative adversarial network. EEG features representing different emotions are extracted as topological maps of differential entropy (DE) under five classical frequency bands. The proposed model is designed to learn the distributions of these features for real EEG signals and generate artificial samples for training. The variational auto-encoder (VAE) architecture can learn the spatial distribution of the actual data through a latent vector, and is introduced into the dual discriminator GAN to improve the diversity of the generated artificial samples. To evaluate the performance of this model, we conduct a systematic test on two public emotion EEG datasets, the SEED and the SEED-IV. The obtained recognition accuracy of the method using data augmentation shows as 92.5 and 82.3%, respectively, on the SEED and SEED-IV datasets, which is 1.5 and 3.5% higher than that of methods without using data augmentation. The experimental results show that the artificial samples generated by our model can effectively enhance the performance of the EEG-based emotion recognition.
