The Frechet Inception Distance score, or FID for short, is a metric that calculates the distance between feature vectors calculated for real and generated images. The score summarizes how similar the two groups are in terms of statistics on computer vision features of the raw images calculated using the inception v3 model used for image […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs for short, is a deep learning neural network architecture for training a generator model for generating synthetic images. A problem with generative models is that there is no objective way to evaluate the quality of the generated images. As such, it is common to periodically generate and save images during […]
Generative adversarial networks, or GANs, are effective at generating high-quality synthetic images. A limitation of GANs is that the are only capable of generating relatively small images, such as 64×64 pixels. The Progressive Growing GAN is an extension to the GAN training procedure that involves training a GAN to generate very small images, such as […]
Progressive Growing GAN is an extension to the GAN training process that allows for the stable training of generator models that can output large high-quality images. It involves starting with a very small image and incrementally adding blocks of layers that increase the output size of the generator model and the input size of the […]
The Cycle Generative adversarial Network, or CycleGAN for short, is a generator model for converting images from one domain to another domain. For example, the model can be used to translate images of horses to images of zebras, or photographs of city landscapes at night to city landscapes during the day. The benefit of the […]
Image-to-image translation involves generating a new synthetic version of a given image with a specific modification, such as translating a summer landscape to winter. Training a model for image-to-image translation typically requires a large dataset of paired examples. These datasets can be difficult and expensive to prepare, and in some cases impossible, such as photographs […]
Semi-supervised learning is the challenging problem of training a classifier in a dataset that contains a small number of labeled examples and a much larger number of unlabeled examples. The Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, is an architecture that makes effective use of large, unlabeled datasets to train an image generator model via an image […]
The Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, is an architecture for training deep convolutional models for generating synthetic images. Although remarkably effective, the default GAN provides no control over the types of images that are generated. The Information Maximizing GAN, or InfoGAN for short, is an extension to the GAN architecture that introduces control variables that […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs, are an architecture for training generative models, such as deep convolutional neural networks for generating images. The conditional generative adversarial network, or cGAN for short, is a type of GAN that involves the conditional generation of images by a generator model. Image generation can be conditional on a class label, […]
The Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN for short, is an architecture for training a generative model. The architecture is comprised of two models. The generator that we are interested in, and a discriminator model that is used to assist in the training of the generator. Initially, both of the generator and discriminator models were implemented […]
