Existing studies in this field mainly focus on \"network engineering\" such as designing new components and objective functions. This work takes a data-centric perspective and investigates multiple critical aspects in \"data engineering\", which we believe would complement the current practice. To facilitate a comprehensive study, we collect and annotate a large-scale human image dataset with over 230K samples capturing diverse poses and textures. Equipped with this large dataset, we rigorously investigate three essential factors in data engineering for StyleGAN-based human generation, namely data size, data distribution, and data alignment. Extensive experiments reveal several valuable observations w.r.t. these aspects: 1) Large-scale data, more than 40K images, are needed to train a high-fidelity unconditional human generation model with vanilla StyleGAN. 2) A balanced training set helps improve the generation quality with rare face poses compared to the long-tailed counterpart, whereas simply balancing the clothing texture distribution does not effectively bring an improvement. 3) Human GAN models with body centers for alignment outperform models trained using face centers or pelvis points as alignment anchors. In addition, a model zoo and human editing applications are demonstrated to facilitate future research in the community.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.11823v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.11823v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"stylegan-human-a-data-centric-odyssey-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/stylegan-human/stylegan-human","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"stylegan-human-a-data-centric-odyssey-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/3dhumangan/3dhumangan","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"stylegan-human-a-data-centric-odyssey-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/celebv-hq/celebv-hq","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"stylegan-human-a-data-centric-odyssey-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/unitedhuman/unitedhuman","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"image-generation","task_name":"Image Generation"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"adaptive-instance-normalization","method_name":"Adaptive Instance Normalization"},{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"},{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"feedforward-network","method_name":"Feedforward Network"},{"method_slug":"r1-regularization","method_name":"R1 Regularization"},{"method_slug":"stylegan","method_name":"StyleGAN"}],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"stylegan-human","name":"StyleGAN-Human","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2204.11823","mcp":{"get_harvested_code_for_paper":{"arxiv_id":"2204.11823"}},"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers","read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","read_at_is":"when the build read Syntology's graph, not when any sample ran","claim":"Per-sample execution status on synthesized fixtures; not a correctness claim about the paper.
