Overview of this book

Machines are excelling at creative human skills such as painting, writing, and composing music. Could you be more creative than generative AI? In this book, you’ll explore the evolution of generative models, from restricted Boltzmann machines and deep belief networks to VAEs and GANs. You’ll learn how to implement models yourself in TensorFlow and get to grips with the latest research on deep neural networks. There’s been an explosion in potential use cases for generative models. You’ll look at Open AI’s news generator, deepfakes, and training deep learning agents to navigate a simulated environment. Recreate the code that’s under the hood and uncover surprising links between text, image, and music generation.

Replacement using autoencoders

Deepfakes are an interesting and powerful use of technology that is both useful and dangerous. In previous sections, we discussed different modes of operations and key features that can be leveraged, as well as common architectures. We also briefly touched upon the high-level flow of different tasks required to achieve the end results. In this section, we will focus on developing a face swapping setup using an autoencoder as our backbone architecture. Let's get started.

Task definition

The aim of this exercise is to develop a face swapping setup. As discussed earlier, face swapping is a type of replacement mode operation in the context of deepfake terminology. In this setup, we will focus on transforming Nicolas Cage (a Hollywood actor) into Donald J. Trump (former US president). In the upcoming sections, we will present each sub-task necessary for the preparation of data, training our models, and finally, the generation of swapped fake...
