Hello! In this post, we will implement GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) using PyTorch and explore the training of a controller in detail. GAN consists of two neural networks, the Generator and the Discriminator, that compete against each other to generate realistic data.
1. Basic Structure of GAN
The basic structure of GAN is as follows:
- Generator: Takes random noise as input and generates fake data.
- Discriminator: Classifies input data into real and fake data.
The two networks are trained through competition, resulting in the generator creating increasingly realistic data and the discriminator making more accurate classifications.
2. Training Process of GAN
The training process of GAN progresses through the following steps:
- Generate fake data by inputting a random noise vector into the generator.
- Input the fake data and real data into the discriminator to compute real/fake probabilities.
- Train the discriminator based on the loss of the discriminator.
- Train the generator based on the loss of the generator.
- Repeat steps 1 to 4.
3. Implementing GAN with PyTorch
Now let’s implement GAN using PyTorch. Below is an example of the implementation of the basic GAN structure.
Installing PyTorch
First, we need to install PyTorch. It can be installed in an environment where Python is installed with the following command:
pip install torch torchvisionDefining the Model
First, we will define the generator and the discriminator.
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.optim as optim
# Generator
class Generator(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(Generator, self).__init__()
self.model = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(100, 256),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(256, 512),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(512, 1024),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(1024, 28 * 28),
nn.Tanh()
)
def forward(self, x):
return self.model(x).view(-1, 1, 28, 28)
# Discriminator
class Discriminator(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(Discriminator, self).__init__()
self.model = nn.Sequential(
nn.Flatten(),
nn.Linear(28 * 28, 512),
nn.LeakyReLU(0.2),
nn.Linear(512, 256),
nn.LeakyReLU(0.2),
nn.Linear(256, 1),
nn.Sigmoid()
)
def forward(self, x):
return self.model(x)
Defining the Training Function
A function to define the training process is also needed:
def train_gan(generator, discriminator, data_loader, num_epochs=100, learning_rate=0.0002):
criterion = nn.BCELoss()
optimizer_g = optim.Adam(generator.parameters(), lr=learning_rate)
optimizer_d = optim.Adam(discriminator.parameters(), lr=learning_rate)
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
for real_data, _ in data_loader:
batch_size = real_data.size(0)
real_labels = torch.ones(batch_size, 1)
fake_labels = torch.zeros(batch_size, 1)
# Training Discriminator
optimizer_d.zero_grad()
outputs = discriminator(real_data)
d_loss_real = criterion(outputs, real_labels)
d_loss_real.backward()
noise = torch.randn(batch_size, 100)
fake_data = generator(noise)
outputs = discriminator(fake_data.detach())
d_loss_fake = criterion(outputs, fake_labels)
d_loss_fake.backward()
optimizer_d.step()
# Training Generator
optimizer_g.zero_grad()
outputs = discriminator(fake_data)
g_loss = criterion(outputs, real_labels)
g_loss.backward()
optimizer_g.step()
print(f'Epoch [{epoch}/{num_epochs}], d_loss: {d_loss_real.item() + d_loss_fake.item()}, g_loss: {g_loss.item()}')
Preparing the Dataset
We will use the MNIST dataset. Let’s write the code to load the data.
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
transform = transforms.Compose([
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (0.5,))
])
dataset = datasets.MNIST(root='./data', train=True, download=True, transform=transform)
data_loader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=64, shuffle=True)
4. Training the GAN
Now that the model and data loader are ready, let’s train the GAN.
generator = Generator()
discriminator = Discriminator()
train_gan(generator, discriminator, data_loader, num_epochs=50)
5. Visualizing Results
After training is complete, let’s visualize the generated images.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def show_generated_images(generator, num_images=25):
noise = torch.randn(num_images, 100)
generated_images = generator(noise).detach().cpu().numpy()
plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5))
for i in range(num_images):
plt.subplot(5, 5, i + 1)
plt.imshow(generated_images[i][0], cmap='gray')
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()
show_generated_images(generator)
6. Training the Controller
Now we will proceed with the training of the controller using GAN. Controller training is the process of learning the optimal actions to achieve specific goals in a given environment. Here, we will explore how this process can be carried out using GAN.
The use of GAN in controller training is an interesting approach. The generator of GAN plays a role in generating actions for various scenarios, while the discriminator evaluates how well these actions meet the goals.
Below is an example code to train a simple controller using GAN.
# Define the controller network
class Controller(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(Controller, self).__init__()
self.model = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(100, 256),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(256, 3) # For example, the dimension of actions (3D actions)
)
def forward(self, x):
return self.model(x)
# Define the training process
def train_controller(gan, controller, num_epochs=100):
optimizer_c = optim.Adam(controller.parameters(), lr=0.001)
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
noise = torch.randn(64, 100)
actions = controller(noise)
# Generate actions using GAN's generator
generated_data = gan.generator(noise)
# Evaluate actions and compute loss
loss = calculate_loss(generated_data, actions) # Loss function needs to be user-defined
optimizer_c.zero_grad()
loss.backward()
optimizer_c.step()
if epoch % 10 == 0:
print(f'Epoch [{epoch}/{num_epochs}], Controller Loss: {loss.item()}')
# Start training the controller
controller = Controller()
train_controller(generator, controller)
7. Conclusion
In this post, we explored the process of implementing GAN with PyTorch and training a simple controller based on it. GAN is highly useful for generating data similar to real data and has various potential applications. We have shown that the scope of GAN can be extended through controller training.
Furthermore, GAN can be utilized in various fields beyond image generation, including text and video generation, so consider using this concept to challenge yourself with your own projects!
