Deep learning neural networks are a flexible class of machine learning algorithms that perform well on a wide range of problems. Neural networks are trained using the backpropagation of error algorithm that involves calculating errors made by the model on the training dataset and updating the model weights in proportion to those errors. The limitation […]
Generative adversarial networks, or GANs for short, are an effective deep learning approach for developing generative models. Unlike other deep learning neural network models that are trained with a loss function until convergence, a GAN generator model is trained using a second model called a discriminator that learns to classify images as real or generated. […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs, are perhaps the most effective generative model for image synthesis. Nevertheless, they are typically restricted to generating small images and the training process remains fragile, dependent upon specific augmentations and hyperparameters in order to achieve good results. The BigGAN is an approach to pull together a suite of recent best […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs for short, were first described in the 2014 paper by Ian Goodfellow, et al. titled “Generative Adversarial Networks.” Since then, GANs have seen a lot of attention given that they are perhaps one of the most effective techniques for generating large, high-quality synthetic images. As such, a number of books […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs for short, are effective at generating large high-quality images. Most improvement has been made to discriminator models in an effort to train more effective generator models, although less effort has been put into improving the generator models. The Style Generative Adversarial Network, or StyleGAN for short, is an extension to […]
Image-to-image translation is the controlled conversion of a given source image to a target image. An example might be the conversion of black and white photographs to color photographs. Image-to-image translation is a challenging problem and often requires specialized models and loss functions for a given translation task or dataset. The Pix2Pix GAN is a […]
The Least Squares Generative Adversarial Network, or LSGAN for short, is an extension to the GAN architecture that addresses the problem of vanishing gradients and loss saturation. It is motivated by the desire to provide a signal to the generator about fake samples that are far from the discriminator model’s decision boundary for classifying them […]
The Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network, or Wasserstein GAN, is an extension to the generative adversarial network that both improves the stability when training the model and provides a loss function that correlates with the quality of generated images. The development of the WGAN has a dense mathematical motivation, although in practice requires only a few […]
The Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network, or Wasserstein GAN, is an extension to the generative adversarial network that both improves the stability when training the model and provides a loss function that correlates with the quality of generated images. It is an important extension to the GAN model and requires a conceptual shift away from a […]
