CycleGAN/Evidence
Method evidence record

CycleGAN

CycleGAN, introduced by Zhu et al. at ICCV 2017, learns to translate images between two visual domains without requiring paired training examples. It trains two generators and two discriminators simultaneously, enforcing a cycle-consistency constraint so that an image translated from domain X to Y and back again recovers the original. This makes it applicable whenever large aligned datasets are unavailable, such as converting photographs to artwork styles, turning summer landscapes into winter scenes, or mapping satellite imagery to map tiles.
