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 […]
What is Deep Learning?
A lot is happening in the world of AI at the moment. Some of you may be wondering how machines have the ability to do what they can do. How can they recognise images, understand speech, and even reply to my requests??? Welcome to the world of Deep Learning. Deep Learning is a subfield of […]
How to Train a Progressive Growing GAN in Keras for Synthesizing Faces
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 […]
How to Implement Progressive Growing GAN Models in Keras
The progressive growing generative adversarial network is an approach for training a deep convolutional neural network model for generating synthetic images. It is an extension of the more traditional GAN architecture that involves incrementally growing the size of the generated image during training, starting with a very small image, such as a 4×4 pixels. This […]
A Tour of Machine Learning Algorithms
In this post, we will take a tour of the most popular machine learning algorithms. It is useful to tour the main algorithms in the field to get a feeling of what methods are available. There are so many algorithms that it can feel overwhelming when algorithm names are thrown around and you are expected to […]
A Gentle Introduction to the Progressive Growing GAN
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 […]
How to Develop a CycleGAN for Image-to-Image Translation with Keras
The Cycle Generative Adversarial Network, or CycleGAN, is an approach to training a deep convolutional neural network for image-to-image translation tasks. Unlike other GAN models for image translation, the CycleGAN does not require a dataset of paired images. For example, if we are interested in translating photographs of oranges to apples, we do not require […]
How to Implement CycleGAN Models From Scratch With Keras
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 […]
A Gentle Introduction to CycleGAN for Image Translation
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 […]
How to Develop a Pix2Pix GAN for Image-to-Image Translation
The Pix2Pix Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, is an approach to training a deep convolutional neural network for image-to-image translation tasks. The careful configuration of architecture as a type of image-conditional GAN allows for both the generation of large images compared to prior GAN models (e.g. such as 256×256 pixels) and the capability of performing […]
