Generative Adversarial Networks Cookbook

Overview of this book

Developing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is a complex task, and it is often hard to find code that is easy to understand. This book leads you through eight different examples of modern GAN implementations, including CycleGAN, simGAN, DCGAN, and 2D image to 3D model generation. Each chapter contains useful recipes to build on a common architecture in Python, TensorFlow and Keras to explore increasingly difficult GAN architectures in an easy-to-read format. The book starts by covering the different types of GAN architecture to help you understand how the model works. This book also contains intuitive recipes to help you work with use cases involving DCGAN, Pix2Pix, and so on. To understand these complex applications, you will take different real-world data sets and put them to use. By the end of this book, you will be equipped to deal with the challenges and issues that you may face while working with GAN models, thanks to easy-to-follow code solutions that you can implement right away.

Code implementation – discriminator


Discriminators are the bread and butter of the discriminative modeling world—it's funny that we use them in such a unique way. Each discriminator that're designed is built to understand the difference between real and fake data but not too well. Why? If the discriminator could always tell the difference between the two types of data then the generator would never improve consistently. The next discriminator, based on the CycleGAN paper, will use a structure heavily based on their original implementation.

Getting ready

Your directory structure should look like the following tree:

├── data
│   ├── 
├── docker
│   ├── build.sh
│   ├── clean.sh
│   └── Dockerfile
├── README.md
├── run.sh
├── scripts
│   └── create_data.sh
├── src
│   ├── discriminator.py
│   ├── generator.py

How to do it...

The discriminator takes the image as input and outputs a decision (real or fake). We'll cover the general construction of the discriminator class (hint: it'll look pretty similar...
