The proposed paired Wasserstein autoencoder addresses theoretical difficulties in adapting Wasserstein autoencoders to the conditional case, enabling practical applicability in imaging tasks like denoising, inpainting, and unsupervised image translation. By leveraging pairwise independence and an optimal autoencoder pair, the model overcomes these hurdles. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of paired Wasserstein autoencoders for image-to-image translation tasks.

Imagine a way to create new images that looks like old ones. This is called generative neural network models. One type of this model is called Wasserstein autoencoder. It’s simple and easy to use, but when we try to make it work with conditions, we run into problems. To solve this issue, scientists propose using two paired autoencoders. They tested their idea on some tasks like cleaning up noisy pictures or filling in missing parts of images. This new model can also translate one image to another.
