The conceptual blending of two signals is a semantic task that may underline both creativity and intelligence. We propose to perform such blending in a way that incorporates two latent spaces: that of the generator network and that of the semantic network. For the first network, we employ the powerful StyleGAN generator, and for the second, the powerful image-language matching network of CLIP. The new method creates a blending operator that is optimized to be simultaneously additive in both latent spaces. Our results demonstrate that this leads to blending that is much more natural than what can be obtained in each space separately. Our code is available at: https: //github.com/hila-chefer/TargetCLIP
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
