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.

Keras implementation of CycleGAN

As discussed earlier in this chapter in the An Introduction to CycleGANs section, CycleGANs have two network architectures, a generator and a discriminator network. In this section, we will write the implementation for all the networks.

Before starting to write the implementations, however, create a Python file, main.py, and import the essential modules, as follows:

from glob import glob
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from keras import Input, Model
from keras.layers import Conv2D, BatchNormalization, Activation, Add, Conv2DTranspose, \
ZeroPadding2D, LeakyReLU
from keras.optimizers import Adam
from keras_contrib.layers import InstanceNormalization
from scipy.misc import imread, imresize
