text: We propose Image-Semantic-Transformation-Reconstruction-Circle(ISTRC) model, a novel and powerful method using facenet's Euclidean latent space to understand the images. As the name suggests, ISTRC construct the circle, able to perfectly reconstruct images. One powerful Euclidean latent space embedded in ISTRC is FaceNet's last layer with the power of distinguishing and understanding images. Our model will reconstruct the images and manipulate Euclidean latent vectors to achieve semantic transformations and semantic images arthimetic calculations. In this paper, we show that ISTRC performs 10 high-level semantic transformations like "Male and female","add smile","open mouth", "deduct beard or add mustache", "bigger smaller nose", "make older and younger", "bigger lips", "bigger eyes", "bigger smaller mouths" and "more attractive". It just takes 3 hours(GTX 1080) to train the models of 10 semantic transformations.
  @cite_0: This paper describes InfoGAN, an information-theoretic extension to the Generative Adversarial Network that is able to learn disentangled representations in a completely unsupervised manner. InfoGAN is a generative adversarial network that also maximizes the mutual information between a small subset of the latent variables and the observation. We derive a lower bound to the mutual information objective that can be optimized efficiently, and show that our training procedure can be interpreted as a variation of the Wake-Sleep algorithm. Specifically, InfoGAN successfully disentangles writing styles from digit shapes on the MNIST dataset, pose from lighting of 3D rendered images, and background digits from the central digit on the SVHN dataset. It also discovers visual concepts that include hair styles, presence absence of eyeglasses, and emotions on the CelebA face dataset. Experiments show that InfoGAN learns interpretable representations that are competitive with representations learned by existing fully supervised methods.
  @cite_4: We propose a new equilibrium enforcing method paired with a loss derived from the Wasserstein distance for training auto-encoder based Generative Adversarial Networks. This method balances the generator and discriminator during training. Additionally, it provides a new approximate convergence measure, fast and stable training and high visual quality. We also derive a way of controlling the trade-off between image diversity and visual quality. We focus on the image generation task, setting a new milestone in visual quality, even at higher resolutions. This is achieved while using a relatively simple model architecture and a standard training procedure.
  @cite_7: Abstract: In recent years, supervised learning with convolutional networks (CNNs) has seen huge adoption in computer vision applications. Comparatively, unsupervised learning with CNNs has received less attention. In this work we hope to help bridge the gap between the success of CNNs for supervised learning and unsupervised learning. We introduce a class of CNNs called deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (DCGANs), that have certain architectural constraints, and demonstrate that they are a strong candidate for unsupervised learning. Training on various image datasets, we show convincing evidence that our deep convolutional adversarial pair learns a hierarchy of representations from object parts to scenes in both the generator and discriminator. Additionally, we use the learned features for novel tasks - demonstrating their applicability as general image representations.
summary: The latent spaces in DCGAN @cite_7 and BEGAN @cite_4 are in uniform distribution in the range of [-1,1]. They both have operated linear interpolation between some random points in their latent spaces. Many GANs @cite_0 are trying to understand the latent space in vector, which makes sense at a high cost of time. But if the network's structure is changed, the latent space in GANs will also be changed. We introduce one perfect Euclidean latent space to entitle GANs the power of understanding images.
