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.

On to training


Here we are again—our ole friend training. Training for CycleGAN has its own idiosyncratic components but you'll notice quite a bit of similarities with our previous chapters. You should be on the lookout for additional training steps—because we are training multiple generators and discriminators, we are increasing the time per batch and consequently per epoch significantly. The only advantage is that our batch in this base is only a single image. 

Getting ready

Your directory should match the following tree—if you don't have the Python files beneath src, simply make sure to add the blank files for run.py and train.py and we will fill in the code throughout this recipe:

Training can be broken into a few key components...
