ExprADA: Adversarial domain adaptation for facial expression analysis

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar

We propose a deep neural network based image-to-image translation for domain adaptation, which aims at finding translations between image domains. Despite recent GAN based methods showing promising results in image-to-image translation, they are prone to f ...
