Face Generation Using Variational Autoencoders

This repo contains training code for two different VAEs implemented with Pytorch.
I used the CelebA Dataset for training, with 182637 training images and 19962 testing images.
Trained model can be found in /checkpoints.

Model structures:

β-VAE [1]:

DFC-VAE [2]:

Results after 300 epochs:

Original Faces (Top) vs. Reconstructed (Bottom) :

Linear Interpolation from z1 (leftmost) to z2 (rightmost):

Vector Arithmetic from original (leftmost) to wearing sunglasses (rightmost):

Generated Images with randomly sampled latent z ~ N(0, 1):

(Notes: output images above are results after image dehazing using this script [3])
