Yotam Nitzan

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Tel-Aviv Univeristy, advised by Prof. Daniel Cohen-Or. My research interests are machine learning, computer vision and computer graphics.

I'm currently interning at Google Research working with Kfir Aberman.

Previously, I received M.Sc. (summa cum laude) in Computer Science from Tel-Aviv Univeristy and B.Sc. (cum laude) in Applied Mathematics from Bar-Ilan University.

	MyStyle: A Personalized Generative Prior Yotam Nitzan, Kfir Aberman, Qiurui He, Orly Liba, Michal Yarom, Yossi Gandelsman, Inbar Mosseri, Yael Pritch, Daniel Cohen-Or arXiv, 2022 project page / arXiv / video We present the first personalized face generator, trained for a specific individual from ~100 of their images. The model now holds a personalized prior, faithfully representing their unique appearance. We then leverage the personalized prior to solve a number of ill-posed image enhancement and editing tasks.
	StyleAlign: Analysis and Applications of Aligned StyleGAN Models Zongze Wu, Yotam Nitzan, Eli Shechtman, Dani Lischinski ICLR, 2022 (Oral) arXiv / video / code Two models as considered aligned if they share the same architecture, and one of them (the child) is obtained from the other (the parent) via fine-tuning to another domain, a common practice in transfer learning. In this paper, we perform an in-depth study of the properties and applications of aligned generative models.
	LARGE: Latent-Based Regression through GAN Semantics Yotam Nitzan, Rinon Gal, Ofri Brenner, Daniel Cohen-Or CVPR, 2022 arXiv / code We propose a novel method for solving regression tasks using few-shot or weak supervision. At the core of our method is the observation that the distance of a latent code from a semantic hyperplane is roughly linearly correlated with the magnitude of the said semantic property in the image corresponding to the latent code.
	Designing an Encoder for StyleGAN Image Manipulation Omer Tov, Yuval Alaluf, Yotam Nitzan, Or Patashnik, Daniel Cohen-Or SIGGRAPH, 2021 arXiv / code We identify the existence of distortion-editability and distortion-perception tradeoffs within the StyleGAN latent space on inverted images. Accordingly, we suggest two principles for designing encoders that are suitable for facilitating editing on real images by balancing these tradeoffs.
	Encoding in Style: a StyleGAN Encoder for Image-to-Image Translation Elad Richardson, Yuval Alaluf, Or Patashnik, Yotam Nitzan, Yaniv Azar, Stav Shapiro, Daniel Cohen-Or CVPR, 2021 project page / arXiv / code A generic image-to-image framework, based on an encoder that directly maps into the latent space of a pretrained generator, StyleGAN2.
	Face Identity Disentanglement via Latent Space Mapping Yotam Nitzan, Amit Bermano, Yangyan Li, Daniel Cohen-Or SIGGRAPH Asia, 2020 project page / arXiv / code We propose to disentangle identity from other facial attributes by mapping directly into the latent space of a pretrained generator, StyleGAN.
