Would PATMAT work for unknown mask b?

[jimydavis]

In the paper and in the code, it looks like the PAT tuning is supposed to be for only 1 image x and 1 mask b. Would PATMAT still work for any mask b and any image x of same identity? Table 1 shows that tuning is 65 minutes and testing is 0.04 seconds. But since it only works for 1 image x and 1 mask b, why is the separation between tuning and inference speed even relevant? Thank you for any answers.

Thanks for the question. We don't tune a single masked image. We tune a model per identity (few images of a person X and this is what tuning time refers to). After tuning, you can I paint any masked images of person X (what inference time refers to)
