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.

Training

Have you got all the pieces? We're ready to go, right? WRONG! We need to understand the best a strategy for how we can train this type of architecture.

How to do it...

The GAN model relies on so-called adversarial training. You'll notice in the following diagram that there are two seemingly conflicting error functions being minimized/maximized.

How it works...

We've talked about the MiniMax problem at work here. By sampling two mini-batches at every epoch, the GAN architecture is able to simultaneously maximize the error to the generator and minimize the error to the discriminator:

Architecture diagram updated to show the backpropagation step in training the GAN model

In each chapter, we'll revisit what it means to train a GAN. Generative models are notoriously difficult to train to get good results. GANs are no different in this respect. There are tips and tricks that you will learn throughout this book in order to get your models to converge and produce results.
