Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there is a deep learning architecture based on flow model and conditional encoder that can overcome the above shortcomings. The reversibility and accurate log-likelihood of the image space and latent space mapping of the flow model have great potential in image synthesis. In the encoder, the coded input attribute annotation is used as a supervisory condition as a controllable factor in the generated image, which can preserve controllable information. Such a model must perform a bijective mapping between the distribution of the image and the latent vector, that is, its latent dimension must match the visible dimensionality, but there is no way to connect the conditional information with the image into the full model
Therefore, a straightforward idea is to add class-dependent regularization in the optimization objective. However, when encountering complex situations, model training often fails. The reason for this phenomenon is the image condition on the latent space. The underlying distribution is difficult to measure accurately, and there are multiple targets
