US12141941B2	Generative neural networks with reduced aliasing Systems and methods are disclosed that improve output quality of any neural network, particularly an image generative neural network. In the real world, details of different scale tend to transform hierarchically. For example, moving a person's head causes the nose to move, which in turn moves the skin pores on the nose. Conventional generative neural networks do not synthesize images in a natural hierarchical manner: the coarse features seem to mainly control the presence of finer features, but not the precise positions of the finer features. Instead, much of the fine detail appears to be fixed to pixel coordinates which is a manifestation of aliasing. Aliasing breaks the illusion of a solid and coherent object moving in space. A generative neural network with reduced aliasing provides an architecture that exhibits a more natural transformation hierarchy, where the exact sub-pixel position of each feature is inherited from underlying coarse features.
