Adaptive Adversarial Augmentation for Controllable Face Synthesis

We propose Ensemble Feedback Controllable Synthesis (EFCS), a guided framework that generates diverse and challenging samples while preserving visual realism.

Key points

  • Synthetic data provides a scalable alternative to real-world datasets for training face recognition models, particularly under challenging conditions such as low resolution, occlusion, and masks.
  • Recognition models trained on EFCS data consistently outperform baselines across multiple benchmarks, showing improved generalization to real-world scenarios.
  • Furthermore, we introduce an analytically motivated formulation linking perturbation-induced difficulty, sample utility, and performance degradation, offering principled insights into balancing synthetic data complexity for optimal training.
  • Together, these contributions establish EFCS as an effective and analytically grounded approach for bridging the gap between synthetic and real datasets.
