The paper "Age Progression/Regression by Conditional Adversarial Autoencoder" by Zhifei Zhang, Yang Song, and Hairong Qi addresses the problem of face aging, specifically age progression and regression, without requiring paired samples or labeled query images. The authors propose a conditional adversarial autoencoder (CAAE) that learns a face manifold, allowing for smooth age progression and regression while preserving personalized features (personality). The CAAE consists of a convolutional encoder and a deconvolutional generator, with two adversarial networks (one for the encoder and one for the generator) to ensure photo-realistic results. The method is evaluated on various datasets and compared with state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating superior performance in generating realistic faces at different ages while preserving personality. The paper also discusses the robustness of the CAAE to variations in pose, expression, and occlusion.The paper "Age Progression/Regression by Conditional Adversarial Autoencoder" by Zhifei Zhang, Yang Song, and Hairong Qi addresses the problem of face aging, specifically age progression and regression, without requiring paired samples or labeled query images.
