The MNIST dataset contains 60,000 training images and 10,000 testing images of size 28x28, spread across ten classes representing the ten handwritten digits. -## GAN - Generative Adversarial Networks present a system of models which learn to output data, similar to training data. A trained GAN takes noise as an input and is able to provide an output with the same dimensions and relevant features as the samples it has been trained with. GAN's employ two neural networks - a *discriminator* and a *generator* which contest in a zero-sum game. The task of the *discriminator* is to distinguish generated images from real images, while the task of the generator is to produce realistic images which are able to fool the discriminator. @@ -23,6 +21,12 @@ Mode collapse is achieved with our naive *vanilla GAN* (Appendix-\ref{fig:vanill A significant improvement to this vanilla architecture is Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN). +It is possible to artificially balance the number of steps between G and D backpropagation, however we think with a solid GAN structure this step is not +really needed.

As DCGAN is trained with no labels, the generator primary objective is to output images that fool the discriminator, but does not intrinsically separate the classes form one another. Therefore we sometimes observe oddly shape fused digits which may temporarily full be labeled real by the discriminator. This issue is solved by training the network for more batches or introducing a deeper architecture, as it can be deducted from a qualitative comparison between figures \ref{fig:dcmed}, \ref{fig:dcshort} and \ref{fig:dclong}. @@ -113,7 +117,7 @@ We evaluate permutations of the architecture involving: When comparing the three levels of depth for the architectures it is possible to notice significant differences for the G-D losses balancing. In a shallow architecture we notice a high oscillation of the generator loss (figure \ref{fig:cshort}), which is being overpowered by the discriminator. Despite this we don't experience any issues with vanishing gradient, hence no mode collapse is reached. -Similarly, with a deep architecture the discriminator still overpowers the generator, and an equilibrium between the two losses is not acheived. The image quality in both cases is not really high: we can see that even after 20000 batches the some pictures appear to be slightly blurry \ref{fig:clong}. +Similarly, with a deep architecture the discriminator still overpowers the generator, and an equilibrium between the two losses is not acheived. The image quality in both cases is not really high: we can see that even after 20,000 batches the some pictures appear to be slightly blurry \ref{fig:clong}. The best compromise is reached for 3 Dense-LeakyReLu-BN blocks as shown in figure \ref{fig:cmed}. It is possible to observe that G-D losses are perfectly balanced, and their value goes below 1, meaning the GAN is approaching the theoretical Nash Equilibrium of 0.5. The image quality is better than the two examples reported earlier, proving that this Medium-depth architecture is the best compromise. @@ -160,7 +164,8 @@ We use the logits extracted from LeNet: $$ \textrm{IS}(x) = \exp(\mathbb{E}_x \left( \textrm{KL} ( p(y\mid x) \| p(y) ) \right) ) $$ -We further report the classification accuracy as found with LeNet. +We further report the classification accuracy as found with LeNet.
