Hands-On Generative Adversarial Networks with PyTorch 1.x

By: John Hany, Greg Walters

Overview of this book

With continuously evolving research and development, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are the next big thing in the field of deep learning. This book highlights the key improvements in GANs over generative models and guides in making the best out of GANs with the help of hands-on examples. This book starts by taking you through the core concepts necessary to understand how each component of a GAN model works. You'll build your first GAN model to understand how generator and discriminator networks function. As you advance, you'll delve into a range of examples and datasets to build a variety of GAN networks using PyTorch functionalities and services, and become well-versed with architectures, training strategies, and evaluation methods for image generation, translation, and restoration. You'll even learn how to apply GAN models to solve problems in areas such as computer vision, multimedia, 3D models, and natural language processing (NLP). The book covers how to overcome the challenges faced while building generative models from scratch. Finally, you'll also discover how to train your GAN models to generate adversarial examples to attack other CNN and GAN models. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to build, train, and optimize next-generation GAN models and use them to solve a variety of real-world problems.

Training Your GANs to Break Different Models

There has been a clear trend that people enjoy using deep learning methods to solve problems in the computer vision field. Has one of your classmates or colleagues ever shown off their latest image classifier to you? Now, with GANs, you may actually get the chance to show them what you can do by generating adversarial examples to break their previous models.

We will be looking into the fundamentals of adversarial examples and how to attack and confuse a CNN model with FGSM (Fast Gradient Sign Method). We will also learn how to train an ensemble classifier with several pre-trained CNN models via transfer learning on Kaggle's Cats vs. Dogs dataset, following which, we will learn how to use an accimage library to speed up your image loading even more and train a GAN model to generate adversarial examples and fool the image classifier...
