Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel Hierarchically-fused Generative Adversarial Network (HfGAN) for synthesizing realistic images from text descriptions. While existing approaches on this topic have achieved impressive success, to generate 256×256 images from captions, they commonly resort to coarse-to-fine scheme and associate multiple discriminators in different stages of the networks. Such a strategy is both inefficient and prone to artifacts. Motivated by the above findings, we propose an end-to-end network that can generate 256×256 photo-realistic images with only one discriminator. We fully exploit the hierarchical information from different layers and directly generate the fine-scale images by adaptively fusing features from multi-hierarchical layers. We quantitatively evaluate the synthesized images with Inception Score, Visual-semantic Similarity and average training time on the CUB birds, Oxford-102 flowers, and COCO datasets. The results show that our model is more efficient and noticeably outperforms the previous state-of-the-art methods.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
