Starter code for Stanford CS236 default final project on GANs

Quick Start

• Install Miniconda package manager.
• Create and activate conda environment.

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate cs236-dp

• Download dataset and baseline checkpoints and logs.

python download.py

• Start training using baseline model.

python train.py --name EXPERMENT_NAME

• Evaluate trained models.

python eval.py --ckpt_path PATH_TO_CKPT --im_size RESOLUTION

• Visualize baseline logs and your experiments using Tensorboard.

tensorboard --logdir out --bind_all

NOTE: Metrics logged during training (e.g. IS, FID, KID) are approximations computed using limited data. Use eval.py to compute accurate metrics.

Baseline Models

The baseline models are Residual SNGANs from Mimicry: Towards the Reproducibility of GAN Research.

Samples

NOTE: Use 150k baselines to benchmark models trained from scratch and use 295k baselines if your models don't involve training from scratch.
