AgeSynth - Latent Age Direction
Abstract
A 512-D latent direction (normal vector) in StyleGAN2’s $\mathcal{W}$ space that enables smooth, age manipulation of human faces. The vector was obtained via Support-Vector Regression (SVR) trained to predict chronological age from latent codes projected from UTKFace images. Traversing the vector produces synthetic age progression/regression. This latent direction was computed on the official StyleGAN2 1024x1024 model.
