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 – loss functions


In this section, we're going to develop custom loss functions that will be used for the discriminator, generator, and adversarial models. We'll cover two loss functions in this section, which we'll go over in detail.

Getting ready

It's time for a directory check! Make sure you've created and placed the relevant data in each of the following folders and files. In this step, we're adding the loss.py file:

├── data
├── docker
│   ├── build.sh
│   ├── clean.sh
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   └── kaggle.json
├── out
├── README.md
├── run.sh
└── src
    ├── loss.py

How to do it...

This is a fairly simple section made up of three primary steps—creating the loss.py file and placing two loss functions in it for us to inherit later on in the development.

Perform the following steps to create the loss.py file:

  1. Add the python3 interpreter to the top of the file and import tensorflow, as follows:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import tensorflow as tf
  1. Implement the self-regularization loss...
