Train a GAN using TPUs and Tensorflow on Google Cloud

Screenshot below shows 64px images generated using the code provided.

This repo contains code to train an unconditional DCGAN (Radford et al 2017) using TPUs on Google Cloud. It is based on the DCGAN TPU example by the Google Tensorflow team with the following modifications

• Support for 64*64 and 128*128 generation: Provide two model architectures (mainly additional layers) that support generating higher resolution images (64, 128).
• Images to TFRecords: A script is available to convert images in a folder to TFRecords required to train the DCGAN.
• Trained models: Trained models for generating masks are available in the models folder and a script for generating images is included.

Convert Images

The convert_to_tfrecords script accepts arguments for data directory (data_dir) and output file (output_file). Data directory is expected to have folders which contain images directly.

python convert_to_tfrecords --data_dir=images/cifar --output_file=images/cifar/train.tfrecords --image_size=128

Expected

images
├── cifar
    ├── train
        └── train_image1.jpg
        └── train_image2.jpg
    └── test
        └── test_image1.jpg
        └── test_image2.jpg

Training

• Please follow the official tensorflow tutorial on setting up a TPU instance. Also see tutorial on running sample MNIST model on TPUs.
• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/victordibia/tpuDCGAN

• Start Training

export GCS_BUCKET_NAME=  <Your GCS Bucket>
python dcgan_main.py --tpu=$TPU_NAME --train_data_file=gs://$GCS_BUCKET_NAME/data/masks/train_masks.tfrecords   --dataset=dcgan64 --train_steps=10000 --train_steps_per_eval=500 --model_dir=gs://$GCS_BUCKET_NAME/dcgan/masks/model --test_data_file=gs://$GCS_BUCKET_NAME/data/rand/test.tfrecords

Trained Models

Interested in generating masks? This repo contains two trained models (64px and 128px). You can use the generate script to generate images using any of the models. If you have your own trained DCGAN models (ckpt files) you can point the script to the model directory.

python generate_from_model.py --model_dir=models/masks/128/model.ckpt-15000 --image_size=128 --output_dir=models/masks/128 --random_seed=2
