用DCGAN生成的猫图片示例

领军研究员 Yann Lecun 称生成式对抗网络( Generative Adverserial Networks, GAN )是“过去20年里机器学习中最棒的想法”。因为这种网络结构的出现,我们才能在今天搭建一个可以生成栩栩如生的猫图片的 AI 系统。这是不是很令人振奋?

DCGAN的训练过程

如果你使用过 Python、Tensorflow,学习过深度学习、CNNs(卷积神经网络),将对理解代码大有裨益。

什么是 DCGAN?

深度卷积生成对抗网络(Deep Convolutional Generative Adverserial Networks,DCGAN)是一种深度学习架构,它会生成和训练集中数据相似的结果。

这一模型用卷积层代替了生成对抗网络(GAN)模型中的全连接层。

为了解释 DCGAN 是如何运行的,我们用艺术专家和冒牌专家来做比喻。

冒牌专家( 即“生成器” )企图模仿梵高的画作生成图片并把它当做真实的梵高作品。

而另一边,艺术专家( 即“分类器” )试图利用它们对梵高画作的了解来识别出赝品( 即生成图片 )。

随着时间推移,艺术专家鉴别赝品的技术不断长进,冒牌专家仿作的能力也不断提高。

如我们所见,DCGANs 由两个互相对抗的深度神经网络组成。

  • 生成器是一个仿造者,生成和真实数据相似的结果。它本身不知道真实数据是什么样,但会从另一个模型的反馈信息中学习和调整。

  • 分类器是一个检测者,通过与真实数据比较来确定伪造数据(即模型生成的图片),但尽力不对真实数据报错。这一部分会为生成器的反向传播服务。

DCGAN工作流程示例

  • 生成器会加入随机噪声向量,生成图片;

  • 这张图片被输入给分类器,和训练集进行比较;

  • 最后分类器返回一个 0(伪造图像)和 1(真实图像)之间的数字。

让我们来创建 DCGAN 吧!

现在,我们可以准备创建AI了。

在这部分,我们将关注模型的主要元素。若你想看所有代码,请点这里的 notebook(https://github.com/simoninithomas/CatDCGAN/blob/master/Cat%20DCGAN.ipynb)。

输入部分

先创建输入占位符:分类器:inputs_real,生成器:inputs_z。

注意,我们用两个学习率,一个是生成器的学习率,一个是分类器的学习率。

DCGANs 对超参数特别敏感,所以精确调参尤其重要。

def model_inputs(real_dim, z_dim):
 """ Create the model inputs
 :param real_dim: tuple containing width, height and channels
 :param z_dim: The dimension of Z
 :return: Tuple of (tensor of real input images, tensor of z data, learning rate G, learning rate D)
 """ # inputs_real for Discriminator
 inputs_real = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, (None, *real_dim), name='inputs_real')
 # inputs_z for Generator
 inputs_z = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, (None, z_dim), name="input_z")
 # Two different learning rate : one for the generator, one for the discriminator
 learning_rate_G = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, name="learning_rate_G")
 learning_rate_D = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, name="learning_rate_D")
 return inputs_real, inputs_z, learning_rate_G, learning_rate_D

分类器和生成器

我们用函数 tf.variable_scope 的原因有两个:

  • 第一,我们想要保证所有变量名称都以 generator 或 discriminator 开头,这将为我们之后训练两个网络提供帮助。

  • 第二,我们要用不同的输入重复训练网络:对于生成器,既要训练它,也要在训练后从生成图像中采样;对于分类器,我们需要在生成图像和真实图像间共用变量。

教程 | 用AI生成猫的图片,撸猫人士必备

我们先来创建分类器。记住,要用真实或生成图像作为输入,然后输出分数。

需要注意的技术点:

  • 关键点是在每个卷积层加倍过滤器的尺寸;

  • 不建议进行下采样,我们只用一定步长的卷积层;

  • 每层都使用 batch 标准化(输入层除外),因为它会减小协方差转变。想了解更多信息的话请看这篇文章(https://medium.com/@ageitgey/machine-learning-is-fun-80ea3ec3c471)。

  • 我们用 Leaky ReLU 作为激活函数,因为它能帮助避免梯度消失问题。

def discriminator(x, is_reuse=False, alpha = 0.2):

 # Logits
 logits = tf.layers.dense(inputs = flatten,
 units = 1,
 activation = None)
 out = tf.sigmoid(logits)
 return out, logits

再来创建生成器。记住,用随机噪声向量(z)作为输入,根据转置的卷积层输出生成图像。

其主要思想是在每层将过滤器尺寸减半,而将图片尺寸加倍。研究已经发现,用 tanh 作为输出层的激活函数时,生成器的表现最好。

分类器和生成器的损失

因为我们是同时训练分类器和生成器,因此,两个网络的损失都需要计算。

我们的目标是使分类器认为图片为真实图片时输出“ 1 ”,认为图片是生成图片时输出“ 0 ”。因此,我们需要设计能够反映这一特点的损失函数。

分类器的损失是真实和生成图片的损失之和:

d_loss = d_loss_real + d_loss_fake

d_loss_real 是分类器将真实图片错误地预测为生成图片时的损失。它的计算如下:

  • 用 d_logits_real ,所有标签均为1(因为所有数据都是真实的);

  • labels = tf.ones_like(tensor) * (1 - smooth) ,使用标签平滑:也就是略微减小标签,例如从 1.0 变为 0.9 ,从而使分类器泛化地更好。

  • d_loss_fake 是分类器预测一张图片为真实图片、但实际是生成图片时的损失。

  • 用 d_logits_fake ,所有标签都为0.

生成器的损失仍使用分类器中的 d_logits_fake ,但标签均为1,因为生成器要迷惑分类器。

def model_loss(input_real, input_z, output_channel_dim, alpha):
 """
 Get the loss for the discriminator and generator
 :param input_real: Images from the real dataset
 :param input_z: Z input
 :param out_channel_dim: The number of channels in the output image
 :return: A tuple of (discriminator loss, generator loss)
 """ 
 # Generator network here g_model = generator(input_z, output_channel_dim) 
 # g_model is the generator output 
 # Discriminator network here d_model_real, d_logits_real = discriminator(input_real, alpha=alpha) d_model_fake, d_logits_fake = discriminator(g_model,is_reuse=True, alpha=alpha) 
 # Calculate losses d_loss_real = tf.reduce_mean(
 tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits=d_logits_real, labels=tf.ones_like(d_model_real))) d_loss_fake = tf.reduce_mean(
 tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits=d_logits_fake, labels=tf.zeros_like(d_model_fake))) d_loss = d_loss_real + d_loss_fake
 g_loss = tf.reduce_mean(
 tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits=d_logits_fake, labels=tf.ones_like(d_model_fake))) 
 return d_loss, g_loss

优化器

计算损失后,我们需要分别更新生成器和分类器。

要更新生成器和分类器,我们需要在每部分用 tf.trainable_variables() 获取变量,这样便创建了一个包含已在图中定义好的所有变量的列表。

def model_optimizers(d_loss, g_loss, lr_D, lr_G, beta1):
 """
 Get optimization operations
 :param d_loss: Discriminator loss Tensor
 :param g_loss: Generator loss Tensor
 :param learning_rate: Learning Rate Placeholder
 :param beta1: The exponential decay rate for the 1st moment in the optimizer
 :return: A tuple of (discriminator training operation, generator training operation)
 """ 
 # Get the trainable_variables, split into G and D parts t_vars = tf.trainable_variables()
 g_vars = [var for var in t_vars if var.name.startswith("generator")]
 d_vars = [var for var in t_vars if var.name.startswith("discriminator")]
 update_ops = tf.get_collection(tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS)
 # Generator update gen_updates = [op for op in update_ops if op.name.startswith('generator')]
 # Optimizers with tf.control_dependencies(gen_updates):
 d_train_opt = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate=lr_D, beta1=beta1).minimize(d_loss, var_list=d_vars) g_train_opt = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate=lr_G, beta1=beta1).minimize(g_loss, var_list=g_vars) 
 return d_train_opt, g_train_opt

训练

现在,我们来执行训练函数。

想法很简单:

  • 每迭代5次保存一次模型;

  • 每训练10个 batch 的图片就保存一张;

  • 每迭代15次将 g_loss , d_loss 和生成图片可视化一次。这样做的原因很简单:显示太多图片的话,Jupyter Notebook 可能会出错。

  • 或者,我们也可以直接通过加载保存的模型来查看图片(这样会节省20h的训练时间)。

def train(epoch_count, batch_size, z_dim, learning_rate_D, learning_rate_G, beta1, get_batches, data_shape, data_image_mode, alpha):
 """

 image_path = "./images/" + image_name
 show_generator_output(sess, 4, input_z, data_shape[3], data_image_mode, image_path, True, False)
 return losses, samples

怎样运行模型

你不能在自己的笔记本上运行这个模型——除非你有自己的 GPU,或者准备好等个十来年。

因此,你最好用在线 GPU 服务,如 AWS 或者 FloydHub 。我个人训练这个 DCGAN 模型花了 20 个小时,用的是 Microsoft Azure 和他们的深度学习虚拟机。
