Face-swapping models have been drawing attention for their compelling
generation quality, but their complex architectures and loss functions often
require careful tuning for successful training. We propose a new face-swapping
model called `Smooth-Swap', which excludes complex handcrafted designs and
allows fast and stable training. The main idea of Smooth-Swap is to build
smooth identity embedding that can provide stable gradients for identity
change. Unlike the one used in previous models trained for a purely
discriminative task, the proposed embedding is …
