Isolating and controlling specific features in the outputs of generative models in a user-friendly way is a difficult and open-ended problem. We develop techniques that allow a user (oracle) to generate an image they are envisioning in their head by answering a sequence of relative queries of the form "do you prefer image a or image b?" Our framework consists of a Conditional VAE that uses the collected relative queries to partition the latent space into preference-relevant features and non-preference-relevant features. We then use the user's responses to relative queries to determine the preference-relevant features that correspond to their envisioned output image. Additionally, we develop techniques for modeling the uncertainty in images' predicted preference-relevant features, allowing our framework to generalize to scenarios in which the relative query training set contains noise.

Code setup

Create a conda environment from the requirements.txt file.

    conda create --name <env> --file requirements.txt

Run a basic experiment

You can run one of our experiment templates as follows. Each contain a python dictionary, which configures the model, dataset, and experiment.

  1. cd auto_localization/experiments/morpho_mnist
  2. python bayesian_triplet_experiment.py <run_name>

Experiment Analysis

You can analyze these models using the jupyter notebooks in auto_localization/experiments/morpho_mnist/experiment_analysis/.
