All of the portraits in this demo are generated by an AI model called “StyleGAN”. Using a technique we call "semantic shaping", we're able to change the age, gender, or emotion of a face.
Hi all!
Excited to share this (trippy) demo with the ProductHunt community.
All of the portraits in this demo are computer-generated by a machine learning model called “StyleGAN”. While most of the recent excitement around StyleGAN centers around its amazing ability to generate infinite variation (e.g. thispersondoesnotexist.com <3), the emergent semantics encoded in the latent space are impressive as well.
For instance, faces in this space allow for some semantic vector math, reminiscent of word2vec’s “king - man + woman = queen” (https://p.migdal.pl/2017/01/06/k...).
We can find the latent representations of, say, smiling people. We can then average them and create a new semantic vector that, when added to pictures of non-smiling faces, makes them all smile.
Some possible applications:
- Generation of assets for games
- Customizing ad photography by region/demographics
- Lifelike, custom avatars
- Compression
- Modeling longitudinal medical imagery
- Zero-shot inpainting, super-resolution, etc
Happy to answer any questions!

Great job, Berkeley!
Pros:
Really cool use of AI
Created by a smart engineer
Cons:
Nothing that comes to mind

This site is just serving up pregenerated images made ahead of time using StyleGAN?
@vincentntang nope, just one pre-generated pic for each spot on the sliders, so, 10*5*5 = 250 total images. of course, the number of graduations on the sliders was an arbitrary choice. but, watch this space ;)

@berkeleymalagon ah okay silly me, it's permutations with repetition. Didn't see the last two sliders were 5 options. I was looking at the images too, how'd you make the transitions so seamless here too? really nice design
