What is Relativistic average GAN?

TL;DR

What is different with original GAN

GAN

The GAN is the two player game which subject as below

is a value function( aka loss or cost function) is a generator, is a sample noise from the distribution we known(usually multidimensional Gaussian distribution). is a fake data generated by the generator. We want in the real data distribution. is a discriminator, which finds out that is a real data (output 1) or a fake data(output 0) In the training iteration, we will train one neural network first(usual is discriminator), and train the other network. After a lot of iterations, we expect the last generator to map multidimensional Gaussian distribution to the real data distribution.

Relativistic average GAN (RaGAN)

RaGAN's Loss function does not optimize discriminator to distinguish data real or fake. Instead, RaGAN's discriminator distinguishes that "real data isn’t like average fake data" or "fake data isn’t like average real data".

the discriminator estimates the probability that the given real data is more realistic than a randomly sampled fake data. paper subsection.4.1

Given Discriminator output Origin GAN Loss is as below,

]-\mathbb{E}_{x_{fake}\sim\mathbb{P}_{fake}}[\log ( 1-D(x_{fake}))])

Relativistic average output is and

RaGAN's Loss is as below,

we can also add relativistic average in Least Square GAN or any other GAN Modified by Jonathan Hui from Paper

How to implement with Keras?

We got loss, so just code it. 😄 Just kidding, we have two approaches to implement RaGAN. The important part of implementation is discriminator output. and We need to average and . We also need "minus" to get and .

We can use keras.backend to deal with it, but that means we need to custom loss. We can also write custom layers to apply these computations to keras as a layer, and use Keras default loss to train the model.

1. Custom layer

   • Pros:
     • Train our RaGAN easily with keras default loss
   • Cons:
     • Write custom layers to implement it.
   • [Colab][NBViewer]

2. Custom Loss

   • Pros:
     • Do not need to write custom layers. Instead, we need write loss with keras.backend.
     • Custom loss is easy to change loss.
   • Cons:
     • Write custom loss with keras.backend to implement it.
