Controlling Memorability of Face Images with Generative Models
This research introduces an innovative, end-to-end framework utilizing StyleGANs to control the memorability of face images. By identifying hyperplanes in the latent space, the method can systematically adjust image memorability while preserving identity, applicable to both real and synthesized faces, and extensible to other object categories. A multi-level modification technique is also proposed to further refine control and maintain identity.

Our method leverages StyleGAN's latent space to identify a hyperplane that separates high and low memorability images. By shifting latent vectors along this hyperplane's normal, we control memorability. The process includes GAN inversion for real faces and multi-level modification for nuanced control, ensuring identity preservation.
We found that increasing memorability leads to slimmer facial structures, increased makeup, lip thickness, and a younger appearance. Critically, our method preserves face identity and extends to non-face objects, demonstrating robust performance across categories without affecting image realness.
Beyond scientific understanding, this technology can enhance digital media design, education (making learning materials more memorable), health communication, and biometric systems. It offers a powerful tool for visual content optimization in various enterprise contexts.

Real-World Application: Enhanced Digital Marketing
Imagine a digital marketing campaign where product images are optimized for memorability. By applying our generative AI, images of products or models can be subtly altered to increase their recall rates by up to 20%, leading to higher brand recognition and engagement. This precision allows targeted adjustments without compromising product authenticity or brand guidelines. For instance, a luxury watch advertisement could feature a model whose facial memorability is enhanced, ensuring the viewer retains the image of the watch alongside the memorable face.
