Cross-modal CycleGAN for Low-Resource Anime Style Face Translation

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Human face to anime face translation has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent
years, and various works have achieved high-quality style transfer on conventional tasks. However,
existing works often have fatal shortcomings when the target domain training data is heavily
insufficient, which is named as imbalanced (low-resource) setting. Here the low-resource task,
generally means there is no sufficient data on the training dataset compared with the conventional
task, e.g. the training data size is fewer than 100. To solve this problem, we propose a multimodal
low-resource translation model for a specific style. Based on the cyclic adversarial network
and class activation map, we import semantic modality to enhance data information and attention
modules, which will help our model focus more on the important areas distinguishing the source
domain from the target domain. Unlike the previous unsupervised learning of single modality, our
model successfully completes image translation in cross-modal situations by importing pre-trained
text-image alignment model. In addition, the use of an asymmetric structure speeds up training and
flexibly generates images of the target domain. The experimental results show that our method has
superiority in low-resource settings compared with the existing work of the same type.
