<p>This demo implements GAN training described in the original <a class="reference external" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.2661">GAN paper</a> and deep convolutional generative adversarial networks <a class="reference external" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.06434">DCGAN paper</a>.</p>
<p>The high-level structure of GAN is shown in Figure. 1 below. It is composed of two major parts: a generator and a discriminator, both of which are based on neural networks. The generator takes in some kind of noise with a known distribution and transforms it into an image. The discriminator takes in an image and determines whether it is artificially generated by the generator or a real image. So the generator and the discriminator are in a competitive game in which generator is trying to generate image to look as real as possible to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator is trying to distinguish between real and fake images.</p>

    Figure 1. GAN-Model-Structure
    <a href="https://ishmaelbelghazi.github.io/ALI/">figure credit</a>
</p><p>The generator and discriminator take turn to be trained using SGD. The objective function of the generator is for its generated images being classified as real by the discriminator, and the objective function of the discriminator is to correctly classify real and fake images. When the GAN model is trained to converge to the equilibrium state, the generator will transform the given noise distribution to the distribution of real images, and the discriminator will not be able to distinguish between real and fake images at all.</p>

<p>Since GAN model involves multiple neural networks, it requires to use paddle python API. So the code walk-through below can also partially serve as an introduction to the usage of Paddle Python API.</p>
<p>There are three networks defined in gan_conf.py, namely <strong>generator_training</strong>, <strong>discriminator_training</strong> and <strong>generator</strong>. The relationship to the model structure we defined above is that <strong>discriminator_training</strong> is the discriminator, <strong>generator</strong> is the generator, and the <strong>generator_training</strong> combined the generator and discriminator since training generator would require the discriminator to provide loss function. This relationship is described in the following code:</p>

<p>In order to balance the strength between generator and discriminator, we schedule to train whichever one is performing worse by comparing their loss function value. The loss function value can be calculated by a forward pass through the GradientMachine.</p>

<p>The generator and discriminator network are built using fully-connected layer and batch_norm layer, and are defined in gan_conf.py.</p>
<p>To train the GAN model, one can use the command below. The flag -d specifies the training data (cifar, mnist or uniform) and flag &#8211;useGpu specifies whether to use gpu for training (0 is cpu, 1 is gpu).</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$python</span> gan_trainer.py -d uniform --useGpu <span class="m">1</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The generated samples can be found in ./uniform_samples/ and one example is shown below as Figure 2. One can see that it roughly recovers the 2D uniform distribution.</p>
