Training Process for GANs
Follow the below mentioned steps to train GAN:
- Step 1: Define the problem: Do you want to generate fake images or fake text. Here you should completely define the problem and collect data for it.
- Step 2: Define architecture of GAN: Define how your GAN should look like. Should both your generator and discriminator be multi layer perceptrons, or convolutional neural networks? This step will depend on what problem you are trying to solve.
- Step 3: Train Discriminator on real data for n epochs: Get the data you want to generate fake on and train the discriminator to correctly predict them as real. Here value n can be any natural number between 1 and infinity.
- Step 4: Generate fake inputs for generator and train discriminator on fake data: Get generated data and let the discriminator correctly predict them as fake.
- Step 5: Train generator with the output of discriminator: Now when the discriminator is trained, you can get its predictions and use it as an objective for training the generator. Train the generator to fool the discriminator. Repeat step 3 to step 5 for a few epochs.
- Step 6: Check if the fake data manually if it seems legit. If it seems appropriate, stop training, else go to step 3: This is a bit of a manual task, as hand evaluating the data is the best way to check the fakeness. When this step is over, you can evaluate whether the GAN is performing well enough.
Implementation for GANs : Pseudocode
Initialize generator and discriminator networks
# Training Loop
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
for batch in data_loader:
# Train Discriminator
real_data = batch
fake_data = generator(random_noise)
d_loss_real = discriminator_loss(real_data)
d_loss_fake = discriminator_loss(fake_data)
d_loss = d_loss_real + d_loss_fake
discriminator_optimizer.zero_grad()
d_loss.backward()
discriminator_optimizer.step()
# Train Generator
fake_data = generator(random_noise)
g_loss = generator_loss(fake_data)
generator_optimizer.zero_grad()
g_loss.backward()
generator_optimizer.step()
# Evaluate and print losses
if batch_index % print_interval == 0:
print(f"Epoch [{epoch}/{num_epochs}], d_loss: {d_loss.item()}, g_loss: {g_loss.item()}")
Generative Models in AI: A Comprehensive Comparison of GANs and VAEs
The world of artificial intelligence has witnessed a significant surge in the development of generative models, which have revolutionized the way we approach tasks like image and video generation, data augmentation, and more. Among the most popular and widely used generative models are Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs).
GANs consist of a generator and a discriminator network that compete against each other in a two-player minimax game. The generator tries to generate realistic samples from random noise, while the discriminator aims to distinguish between real and fake samples. On the other hand, VAEs are probabilistic models that learn a latent representation of the input data. In this article, we’ll delve into the intricacies of GANs and VAEs, exploring their key differences, similarities, and real-world applications.
