Overview of this book

Recent developments in deep learning, including Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) are creating impressive AI results in our news headlines - such as AlphaGo Zero beating world chess champions, and generative AI that can create art paintings that sell for over $400k because they are so human-like. Advanced Deep Learning with Keras is a comprehensive guide to the advanced deep learning techniques available today, so you can create your own cutting-edge AI. Using Keras as an open-source deep learning library, you'll find hands-on projects throughout that show you how to create more effective AI with the latest techniques. The journey begins with an overview of MLPs, CNNs, and RNNs, which are the building blocks for the more advanced techniques in the book. You’ll learn how to implement deep learning models with Keras and TensorFlow 1.x, and move forwards to advanced techniques, as you explore deep neural network architectures, including ResNet and DenseNet, and how to create autoencoders. You then learn all about GANs, and how they can open new levels of AI performance. Next, you’ll get up to speed with how VAEs are implemented, and you’ll see how GANs and VAEs have the generative power to synthesize data that can be extremely convincing to humans - a major stride forward for modern AI. To complete this set of advanced techniques, you'll learn how to implement DRL such as Deep Q-Learning and Policy Gradient Methods, which are critical to many modern results in AI.

Conditional GAN


In the previous section, the fake images generated by the DCGAN are random. There is no control over which specific digits will be produced by the generator. There is no mechanism for how to request a particular digit from the generator. This problem can be addressed by a variation of GAN called Conditional GAN (CGAN) [4].

Using the same GAN, a condition is imposed on both the generator and discriminator inputs. The condition is in the form of a one-hot vector version of the digit. This is associated with the image to produce (generator) or classified as real or fake (discriminator). The CGAN model is shown in Figure 4.3.1.

CGAN is similar to DCGAN except for the additional one-hot vector input. For the generator, the one-hot label is concatenated with the latent vector before the Dense layer. For the discriminator, a new Dense layer is added. The new layer is used to process the one-hot vector and reshape it so that it is suitable for concatenation to the other input of the...
