StarGAN v2

Open weights NAVER,Yonsei University,Swiss Federal Institute of Technology December 2019

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

How it is classified

Labels the source dataset applies when tracking notable models, and how confident it is in the entry.

Why it is tracked
Highly cited,SOTA improvement

"Votes from AMT workers for the most preferred method regarding visual quality and style reflection (%). StarGAN v2 outperforms the baselines with remarkable margins in all aspects." "As shown in Table 2, our method outperforms all the baselines by a large margin in terms of visual quality. For both CelebA-HQ and AFHQ, our method achieves FIDs of 13.7 and 16.2, respectively, which are more than two times improvement over the previous leading method."

What the numbers mean

What this model is

StarGAN v2 was published by NAVER,Yonsei University,Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Korea (Republic of), in December 2019. industry,Academia,Academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Vision, Image generation, and is recorded as doing image generation, Image-to-image.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded.

How it was trained

Around 400,000 tokens went into training it.

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is highly cited,SOTA improvement.

Answers

StarGAN v2 — common questions

01

What is StarGAN v2 used for?

StarGAN v2 works in Vision, Image generation, and is recorded as handling image generation, Image-to-image. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

02

Where can I download StarGAN v2?

The weights for StarGAN v2 are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

03

What GPU do I need to run StarGAN v2?

We cannot say. StarGAN v2 has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

04

Is StarGAN v2 open source?

Its weights are published, so StarGAN v2 can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

05

How many parameters does StarGAN v2 have?

No parameter count has been published for StarGAN v2, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

06

Who created StarGAN v2?

StarGAN v2 was published by NAVER,Yonsei University,Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, based in Korea (Republic of), categorised as industry,Academia,Academia.

07

When was StarGAN v2 released?

StarGAN v2 was published in December 2019. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
