Given a point on the circle, we can define a circle by specifying , which is the unit vector from to circle center , and , which is the unit tangent vector that defines the sampling direction. Then we sample angles from . For a given , the corresponding point on the circle is defined as + + .

This is the visualization of samples surrounding an MNIST image. We use VAE trained on MNIST to generate this gif.

We tried this image with Chinese character on the VAE model trained on MNIST dataset.

The result is as follows, which means it doesn't generate well for different domains.

We also notice that the model tends to generate 3 and 6. This is possibly because we are using the same sampling vectors as the previous example.

On Linux:

export PYTHONPATH='${PYTHONPATH}:/path/to/DeepAnimation'

On Windows:

set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;\path\to\DeepAnimation\

On Colab:

import os
os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] += ':/path/to/DeepAnimation'

Here we plot the t-SNE visualization of frames sampled fron all 1416 gifs, each with 10 frames.

We used the ahash algorithm as well as the latent vector to do deep hashing. Therefore we can query hand drawings and fetch well-designed images in our dataset. With the hand drawing, the top-10 results are:

Note that the fifth result is a perfect match!

More results:

1. cd into vaegan/experiments
2. Modify query.py test_nearest_dataset(). frame_dir is image directory and fmt is image file name.
3. run python query.py
