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.

Anomalous data


Anomalous data is the risk that your data is not evenly distributed or easily separable. Datasets from the real world are going to contain outliers and data that needs to be adjusted. In this recipe, we will discuss a basic technique used in data analysis to work with anomalous data and distribute the results while maintaining the data distribution.

Getting ready

Outliers are a huge issue with datasets where you want to have a clean distribution of data. In terms of the generative model, we are interested in ensuring that the model can find the right representation of the distribution and model it appropriately. This recipe is going to focus on the tools you will use in these instances to solve problems with outliers in some of these datasets.

Here is an easy to understand general technique I would like you to understand in this recipe - the Univariate method.

How to do it...

Why are these methods important? You need to develop a set of tools in your repertoire to understand data...
