Improving Text-To-Image Synthesis Using Contrastive Learning, Hui Ye, Xiulong Yang, Martin Takáč, Raj Sunderraman, Shihao Ji

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

The goal of text-to-image synthesis is to generate a visually realistic image that matches a given text description. In practice, the captions annotated by humans for the same image have large variance in terms of contents and the choice of words. The linguistic discrepancy between the captions of the identical image leads to the synthetic images deviating from the ground truth. To address this issue, we propose a contrastive learning approach to improve the quality and enhance the semantic consistency of synthetic images. In the pretraining stage, we utilize the contrastive learning approach to learn the consistent textual representations for …
