In this notebook, you'll build a GAN using convolutional layers in the generator and discriminator. This is called a Deep Convolutional GAN, or DCGAN for short. The DCGAN architecture was first explored last year and has seen impressive results in generating new images, you can read the original paper here.
You'll be training DCGAN on the Street View House Numbers (SVHN) dataset. These are color images of house numbers collected from Google street view. SVHN images are in color and much more variable than MNIST.
So, we'll need a deeper and more powerful network. This is accomplished through using convolutional layers in the discriminator and generator. It's also necessary to use batch normalization to get the convolutional networks to train. The only real changes compared to what you saw previously are in the generator and discriminator, otherwise the rest of the implementation is the same.

Here I'm showing a small sample of the images. Each of these is 32x32 with 3 color channels (RGB). These are the real images we'll pass to the discriminator and what the generator will eventually fake.

Here we need to do a bit of preprocessing and getting the images into a form where we can pass batches to the network. First off, we need to rescale the images to a range of -1 to 1, since the output of our generator is also in that range. We also have a set of test and validation images which could be used if we're trying to identify the numbers in the images.

Here you'll build the generator network. The input will be our noise vector z as before. Also as before, the output will be a $tanh$ output, but this time with size 32x32 which is the size of our SVHN images.
What's new here is we'll use convolutional layers to create our new images. The first layer is a fully connected layer which is reshaped into a deep and narrow layer, something like 4x4x1024 as in the original DCGAN paper. Then we use batch normalization and a leaky ReLU activation. Next is a transposed convolution where typically you'd halve the depth and double the width and height of the previous layer. Again, we use batch normalization and leaky ReLU. For each of these layers, the general scheme is convolution > batch norm > leaky ReLU.
You keep stacking layers up like this until you get the final transposed convolution layer with shape 32x32x3. Below is the archicture used in the original DCGAN paper:
Note that the final layer here is 64x64x3, while for our SVHN dataset, we only want it to be 32x32x3.
Exercise: Build the transposed convolutional network for the generator in the function below. Be sure to use leaky ReLUs on all the layers except for the last tanh layer, as well as batch normalization on all the transposed convolutional layers except the last one.
In [ ]:
def generator(z, output_dim, reuse=False, alpha=0.2, training=True):
with tf.variable_scope('generator', reuse=reuse):
# First fully connected layer
x
# Output layer, 32x32x3
logits =
out = tf.tanh(logits)
return out
Here you'll build the discriminator. This is basically just a convolutional classifier like you've build before. The input to the discriminator are 32x32x3 tensors/images. You'll want a few convolutional layers, then a fully connected layer for the output. As before, we want a sigmoid output, and you'll need to return the logits as well. For the depths of the convolutional layers I suggest starting with 16, 32, 64 filters in the first layer, then double the depth as you add layers. Note that in the DCGAN paper, they did all the downsampling using only strided convolutional layers with no maxpool layers.
You'll also want to use batch normalization with tf.layers.batch_normalization on each layer except the first convolutional and output layers. Again, each layer should look something like convolution > batch norm > leaky ReLU.
Note: in this project, your batch normalization layers will always use batch statistics. (That is, always set training to True.) That's because we are only interested in using the discriminator to help train the generator. However, if you wanted to use the discriminator for inference later, then you would need to set the training parameter appropriately.
Exercise: Build the convolutional network for the discriminator. The input is a 32x32x3 images, the output is a sigmoid plus the logits. Again, use Leaky ReLU activations and batch normalization on all the layers except the first.

And another function we can use to train our network. Notice when we call generator to create the samples to display, we set training to False. That's so the batch normalization layers will use the population statistics rather than the batch statistics. Also notice that we set the net.input_real placeholder when we run the generator's optimizer. The generator doesn't actually use it, but we'd get an errror without it because of the tf.control_dependencies block we created in model_opt.

GANs are very senstive to hyperparameters. A lot of experimentation goes into finding the best hyperparameters such that the generator and discriminator don't overpower each other. Try out your own hyperparameters or read the DCGAN paper to see what worked for them.
Exercise: Find hyperparameters to train this GAN. The values found in the DCGAN paper work well, or you can experiment on your own. In general, you want the discriminator loss to be around 0.3, this means it is correctly classifying images as fake or real about 50% of the time.
