Generative Adversarial Networks Cookbook

By: Josh Kalin

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.

Adjusting parameters for better performance


Now that we have working code and a generator that produces images, what do we do next? Let's look at what parameters we can use to improve the performance of our network. This section will focus on showing you the various areas where you may be able to improve your code.

 

How to do it...

There are many ways to optimize code—too many to cover here. With that in mind, we'll cover some of the basics to ensure that you have an idea of where to start modifying the code in this recipe:

  • The training code—each of the flipcoin functions (these functions have a modified probability, where the higher the probability, the higher the chance it will evaluate to true)
  • The generation and discriminator's structures
  • The number of images

Training parameters

In each of the flipcoin events in the training code, consider making a modifiable parameter in the run script. As a reminder, the pseudocode is as follows:

### Pseudocode
On Epoch:
    Batch Size = ##
    flipcoin()...
