  Conditional generative adversarial networks have shown exceptional generation
performance over the past few years. However, they require large numbers of
annotations. To address this problem, we propose a novel generative adversarial
network utilizing weak supervision in the form of pairwise comparisons (PC-GAN)
for image attribute editing. In the light of Bayesian uncertainty estimation
and noise-tolerant adversarial training, PC-GAN can estimate attribute rating
efficiently and demonstrate robust performance in noise resistance. Through
extensive experiments, we show both qualitatively and quantitatively that
PC-GAN performs comparably with fully-supervised methods and outperforms
unsupervised baselines.
