Summary: | Abstract Unpaired image-to-image translation for the generation field has made much progress recently. However, these methods suffer from mode collapse because of the overfitting of the discriminator. To this end, we propose a straightforward method to construct a contrastive loss using the feature information of the discriminator output layer, which is named multi-feature contrastive learning (MCL). Our proposed method enhances the performance of the discriminator and solves the problem of model collapse by further leveraging contrastive learning. We perform extensive experiments on several open challenge datasets. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results compared with current methods. Finally, a series of ablation studies proved that our approach has better stability. In addition, our proposed method is also practical for single image translation tasks.
