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 – generator


It might seem obvious by now but each of the generators we've built until this point has been an incremental improvement on the last GAN to Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) to CycleGAN will represent a similar incremental change in the generator code. In this case, we'll downsample for a few blocks then upsample. We'll also introduce a new layer called InstanceNormalization that the authors used to enforce better training for style transfer.

Getting ready

Every recipe is going to demonstrate the structure that you should have in your directory. This ensures that you've got the right files at each step of the way:

├── data
│   ├── 
├── docker
│   ├── build.sh
│   ├── clean.sh
│   └── Dockerfile
├── README.md
├── run.sh
├── scripts
│   └── create_data.sh
├── src
│   ├── generator.py

How to do it....

With the generator, we will replicate the paper with the number of filters and the block style.

These are the steps for this:
