Generative Adversarial Networks Projects

By: Kailash Ahirwar

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 how to turn paintings into photos using a CycleGAN. We started with an introduction to CyleGANs and explored the architectures of networks involved in CycleGANs. We also explored the different loss functions required to train CycleGANs. This was followed by an implementation of CycleGAN in the Keras framework. We trained the CycleGAN on the monet2photo dataset and visualized the generated images, the losses, and the graphs for different networks. Before concluding the chapter, we explored the real-world use cases of CycleGANs.

In the next chapter, we will work on the pix2pix network for image-to-image translation. In pix2pix, we will explore conditional GANs for image translation.
