Ask HN: I want to create new human faces with Deep Learning. Where do I start?
Is there some free or, way better, an open source repo/project that it’s ready out of the box or just rough around the edges?
It doesn’t matter if they’re created “from scratch” from a large dataset or its just a mix of two or so faces.
Thanks in advance.
- souljaboytylem 8y agoI bet if you poke around on Google for GAN and face generation you’ll stumble upon some sources. I wasn’t able to find any particular packages or pre-trained models but these types of papers are a good start and typically reference related works and other similar projects https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/42f6/f5454dda99d8989f9814989efd50fe807ee8.pdf https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/42f6/f5454dda99d8989f981498...

- Someone 8y agoMixing: Google “opencv face morphing” (probably won’t use deep learning, but _if_ you’re in it for the results, that doesn’t matter) Better: https://research.nvidia.com/publication/2017-10_Progressive-Growing-of https://research.nvidia.com/publication/2017-10_Progressive-...

- p1esk 8y agoAll of generated faces I've seen recently are based on CelebA dataset. So the results tend to be very good looking people. If you want to generate something more realistic you need to find of build a large dataset of "more realistic" faces.
