GANzzle: Reframing jigsaw puzzle solving as a retrieval task using a generative mental image. (arXiv:2207.05634v1 [cs.CV])

Puzzle solving is a combinatorial challenge due to the difficulty of matching
adjacent pieces. Instead, we infer a mental image from all pieces, which a
given piece can then be matched against avoiding the combinatorial explosion.
Exploiting advancements in Generative Adversarial methods, we learn how to
reconstruct the image given a set of unordered pieces, allowing the model to
learn a joint embedding space to match an encoding of each piece to the cropped
layer of the generator. Therefore we …
