Generative Adversarial Networks Projects

Overview of this book

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have the potential to build next-generation models, as they can mimic any distribution of data. Major research and development work is being undertaken in this field since it is one of the rapidly growing areas of machine learning. This book will test unsupervised techniques for training neural networks as you build seven end-to-end projects in the GAN domain. Generative Adversarial Network Projects begins by covering the concepts, tools, and libraries that you will use to build efficient projects. You will also use a variety of datasets for the different projects covered in the book. The level of complexity of the operations required increases with every chapter, helping you get to grips with using GANs. You will cover popular approaches such as 3D-GAN, DCGAN, StackGAN, and CycleGAN, and you’ll gain an understanding of the architecture and functioning of generative models through their practical implementation. By the end of this book, you will be ready to build, train, and optimize your own end-to-end GAN models at work or in your own projects.

Summary

In this chapter, we have learned about and implemented a StackGAN network to generate high-resolution images from text descriptions. We started with a basic introduction to StackGAN, in which we explored the architectural details of a StackGAN and discovered the losses used for the training of StackGAN. Then, we downloaded and prepared the dataset. After that, we started implementing the StackGAN in the Keras framework. After the implementation, we trained the Stage-I and Stage-II StackGANS sequentially. After successfully training the network, we evaluated the model and saved it for further use.

In the next chapter, we will work with CycleGAN, a network that can convert paintings into photos.
