My next two posts are going to be about: - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.04958 - StyleGAN2 - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.09341 - Causal InfoGAN, written in TinyGrad https://ym2132.github.io&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1912.04958/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

But the odd thing is, when you put a noisy image into a StyleGAN2 encoder, you get latents which the decoder will turn into a de-noised image. So in practical use, you can take a trained StyleGAN2 encoder/decoder pair and use it as if it was a denoiser. For example https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04192 &amp;gt; These differences lead to learned distributions in the latent space that are entirely different I also agree there. The training for a denoising…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1912.04958/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

If you read StyleGAN[0], StyleGAN2[1], StyleGAN2-ADA[2], and this paper there is a clear story. They call out the mistakes in the previous papers and resolve them. The papers themselves even admit to where they fall short. But it is research. Problems don&amp;#x27;t get solved all at once. But if you pay attention to these 4 papers it is very clear Kerras has a very well defined research focus and direction. He&amp;#x27;s showing his progress over time, sharing it with the community, and learning from the community as well. This is how…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1912.04958/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

They didn&amp;#x27;t completely solve everything but symmetry is one of the biggest indicators. Specifically ears and eyes. But also really pay attention to the teeth. If you go to ThisPersonDoesNotExist[1] you&amp;#x27;ll see that there&amp;#x27;s still phase issues with teeth and eyes. It&amp;#x27;s an improvement on the original paper but it is still weird. For eyes you&amp;#x27;ll notice things like them not pointing in the same direction (this isn&amp;#x27;t always super obvious). Another big thing to look at is the neck.
