Age progression/regression is a challenging task due to the complicated and non-linear transformation in human aging process. Many researches have shown that both global and local facial features are essential for face representation [1], but previous GAN based methods mainly focused on the global feature in age synthesis. To utilize both global and local facial information, we propose a Global...
