IntroVAE

A pytorch implementation of Paper "IntroVAE: Introspective Variational Autoencoders for Photographic Image Synthesis"

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7 or Python 3.6
• PyTorch

Run

Use the default parameters except changing the hyper-parameter, i.e., m_plus, weight_rec, weight_kl, and weight_neg, for different image resolution settings. Noted that setting num_vae nonzero means pretraining the model in the standard VAE manner, which may helps improve the training stablitity and convergency.

The default parameters for CelebA-HQ faces at 256x256 and 1024x1024 resolutions are provided in the file 'run_256.sh' and 'run_1024.sh', respectively. Other settings are allowed as discussed in the appendix of the published paper.
