I just want to add a little more details. As long as the training dataset is diverse enough, the trained GAN generator should be capable of generating images that are similar to the training dataset. Therefore there is no need to retrain the GAN. However, to &amp;quot;embed&amp;quot; a given face image to the latent space, we need to either use the optimization based method https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04782 mentioned in &amp;quot;Geee&amp;quot;&amp;#x27;s post, or train a encoding network. The encoding network would be much easier to train than the decoding/generator network because we do not need to use adversarial…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1702.04782/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

If the latent space has enough dimensions (trained with a big enough set) it should already contain your face. The problem is to find it. Actually I think this could do the job: https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04782 https://github.com/simoroma/RecoverGANlatentVector&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1702.04782/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
