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 – GAN


The Generative Adversarial Model, or GAN, is at the heart of adversarial training architecture. In fact, this model is different only in the fact that we use custom loss functions in our compile step. Let's take a look at how it's implemented.

 

 

Getting ready

This section will fill out the core of the base classes and functionality we need to have for training the simGAN architecture. The following files, and structure, should be included in your current directory:

├── data
├── docker
│   ├── build.sh
│   ├── clean.sh
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   └── kaggle.json

    ├── gan.py
    ├── generator.py

How to do it...

The GAN model is vastly simplified in comparison to the building of the generator and discriminator. Essentially, this class will put the generator and discriminator into adversarial training along with the custom loss functions.

Take the following steps:

  1. Use the python3 interpreter and...
