Hands-On Generative Adversarial Networks with Keras

By: Rafael Valle

Overview of this book

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have revolutionized the fields of machine learning and deep learning. This book will be your first step toward understanding GAN architectures and tackling the challenges involved in training them. This book opens with an introduction to deep learning and generative models and their applications in artificial intelligence (AI). You will then learn how to build, evaluate, and improve your first GAN with the help of easy-to-follow examples. The next few chapters will guide you through training a GAN model to produce and improve high-resolution images. You will also learn how to implement conditional GANs that enable you to control characteristics of GAN output. You will build on your knowledge further by exploring a new training methodology for progressive growing of GANs. Moving on, you'll gain insights into state-of-the-art models in image synthesis, speech enhancement, and natural language generation using GANs. In addition to this, you'll be able to identify GAN samples with TequilaGAN. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with the latest advancements in the GAN framework using various examples and datasets, and you will have developed the skills you need to implement GAN architectures for several tasks and domains, including computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and audio processing. Foreword by Ting-Chun Wang, Senior Research Scientist, NVIDIA

What we've GANed so far

The GAN framework has revolutionized the fields of machine learning and deep learning. Over the course of the chapters in this book, we implemented many models in many domains that were part of this revolution, including images, text, and audio.

Generative models

We learned about deep learning and generative models in general, and their applications in AI. We covered many topics including GANs, autoregressive models, variational autoencoders, and reversible flow models.

We described in detail the building blocks of GANs, including their strengths and limitations. We learned how to visualize their results and how to evaluate them qualitatively and quantitatively.
