Abstract

We present Polarity Sampling, a theoretically justified plugand-play method for controlling the generation quality and diversity of any pre-trained deep generative network (DGN). Leveraging the fact that DGNs are, or can be approximated by, continuous piecewise affine splines, we derive the analytical DGN output space distribution as a function of the product of the DGN's Jacobian singular values raised to a power ρ. We dub ρ the polarity parameter and prove that ρ focuses the DGN sampling on the modes (ρ < 0) or anti-modes (ρ > 0) of the DGN outputspace probability distribution. We demonstrate that nonzero polarity values achieve a better precision-recall (qualitydiversity) Pareto frontier than standard methods, such as truncation, for a number of state-of-the-art DGNs. We also present quantitative and qualitative results on the improvement of overall generation quality (e.g.
