AVATAR: Adversarial self-superVised domain Adaptation network for TARget domain

Authors:Jun Kataoka, Hyunsoo Yoon

This paper presents an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) method for predicting unlabeled target domain data, specific to complex UDA tasks where the domain gap is significant. Mainstream UDA models aim to learn from both domains and improve target discrimination by utilizing labeled source domain data. However, the performance boost may be limited when the discrepancy between the source and target domains is large or the target domain contains outliers. To explicitly address this issue, we propose the Adversarial self-superVised domain Adaptation network for the TARget domain (AVATAR) algorithm. It outperforms state-of-the-art UDA models by concurrently reducing domain discrepancy while enhancing discrimination through domain adversarial learning, self-supervised learning, and sample selection strategy for the target domain, all guided by deep clustering. Our proposed model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on three UDA benchmarks, and extensive ablation studies and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for addressing complex UDA tasks.

Avatar Fingerprinting for Authorized Use of Synthetic Talking-Head Videos

Authors:Ekta Prashnani, Koki Nagano, Shalini De Mello, David Luebke, Orazio Gallo

Modern generators render talking-head videos with impressive levels of photorealism, ushering in new user experiences such as videoconferencing under constrained bandwidth budgets. Their safe adoption, however, requires a mechanism to verify if the rendered video is trustworthy. For instance, for videoconferencing we must identify cases in which a synthetic video portrait uses the appearance of an individual without their consent. We term this task avatar fingerprinting. We propose to tackle it by leveraging facial motion signatures unique to each person. Specifically, we learn an embedding in which the motion signatures of one identity are grouped together, and pushed away from those of other identities, regardless of the appearance in the synthetic video. Avatar fingerprinting algorithms will be critical as talking head generators become more ubiquitous, and yet no large scale datasets exist for this new task. Therefore, we contribute a large dataset of people delivering scripted and improvised short monologues, accompanied by synthetic videos in which we render videos of one person using the facial appearance of another.
