DCGAN-Keras

The CORRECT and PERFORMANT way to implement GAN in Keras.

This is the Tensorflow version, here's another guy who wrote the theano version: https://github.com/bstriner/keras-adversarial

In short

1. create your D and G network as usual in Keras

2. call gan_feed = gan(G,D)

3. feed your data manually:

   # sample from cifar
   j = i % int(length/batch_size)
   minibatch = shuffled_cifar[j*batch_size:(j+1)*batch_size]
   z_input = np.random.normal(loc=0.,scale=1.,size=(batch_size,zed))
   
   # train for one step
   losses = gan_feed(sess,minibatch,z_input)
   

How this happened

DCGAN have been implemented in a lot of frameworks. However, existing Keras and Tensorflow implementations are SLOW due to duplicated computation.

Basically we want to do two things in one forward-backward pass:

1. update Wd w.r.t. D_loss
2. update Wg w.r.t. G_loss

This kind of update(different parameters w.r.t. different loss) however is not possible in Keras.

but possible in Torch - check soumith/dcgan.

So the dumb solution was to create two model, one updates Wd after its forward-backward pass, another updates Wg after its forward-backward pass. All those DCGAN on GitHub are almost all implemented this way.

I wrote a detailed description to the problem: https://ctmakro.github.io/site/on_learning/fast_gan_in_keras.html

It works
