Abstract
Advancing the research in face applications is
limited by proprietary databases and increasing data pro-
tection regulations, synthetically generated databases may
provide a solution. In this work the GANformer, a hybrid
generative image model, is explored for this application.
While only trained for unconditioned face generation like
many other models, this works shows the potential of two
use cases. First, the unique implementation of the attention
is examined for the application of segmentation. Second,
real labeled faces are reconstructed in latent space to find
latent directions describing disentangled attributes. This
concept is brought in practice by augmenting neutral to
smiling faces, but could be applied on other expressions
and attributes as well. This work can be use as basis as
it opens up two directions for further research.
