The proposed novel GAN framework enables fine-grained control over individual race-related phenotype attributes of facial images. The framework disentangles the latent space into elements that correspond to race-related facial representations, separating aspects like skin tone, hair color, nose shape, eye shape, and mouth shape. This allows for robust annotation in real-world data. To train the GAN, a high-quality augmented dataset is introduced, drawn from CelebA-HQ. The framework relies solely on 2D imagery to achieve state-of-the-art individual control over race-related attributes with improved photo-realistic output.

In this paper, scientists develop a new way to control facial features in pictures. They want to be able to change specific traits like skin tone or hair color without changing the person’s identity. This is important because it can help reduce biases in facial recognition technology. The team proposes a new method using artificial intelligence and creates a large dataset of diverse faces to train their system. Their approach only uses 2D images and doesn’t require any special annotations.
