We introduce the problem of disentangling time-lapse sequences in a way that allows separate, after-the-fact control of overall trends, cyclic effects, and random effects in the images, and describe a technique based on data-driven generative models that achieves this goal.

Elucidating the Design Space of Diffusion-Based Generative Models

12 code implementations1 Jun 2022 Tero Karras, Miika Aittala, Timo Aila, Samuli Laine

We argue that the theory and practice of diffusion-based generative models are currently unnecessarily convoluted and seek to remedy the situation by presenting a design space that clearly separates the concrete design choices.

Semi-supervised semantic segmentation needs strong, varied perturbations

5 code implementations5 Jun 2019 Geoff French, Samuli Laine, Timo Aila, Michal Mackiewicz, Graham Finlayson

We analyze the problem of semantic segmentation and find that its' distribution does not exhibit low density regions separating classes and offer this as an explanation for why semi-supervised segmentation is a challenging problem, with only a few reports of success.

Noise2Noise: Learning Image Restoration without Clean Data

21 code implementations ICML 2018 Jaakko Lehtinen, Jacob Munkberg, Jon Hasselgren, Samuli Laine, Tero Karras, Miika Aittala, Timo Aila

We apply basic statistical reasoning to signal reconstruction by machine learning -- learning to map corrupted observations to clean signals -- with a simple and powerful conclusion: it is possible to learn to restore images by only looking at corrupted examples, at performance at and sometimes exceeding training using clean data, without explicit image priors or likelihood models of the corruption.
