Implementation of ProGAN from scratch

ProGAN from the paper Progressive Rising of GANs for Improved High quality, Stability, and Variation is without doubt one of the revolutionary papers that was the primary to generate actually high-quality photos. On this article, we’ll make a clear, easy, and readable implementation of it utilizing PyTorch. (For those who choose TensorFlow/Keras you possibly can see this superb article written by Bharath Okay.)  We’ll attempt to replicate the unique paper as carefully as potential, so for those who learn the paper the implementation ought to be just about similar.

For those who do not learn the ProGan paper or do not know the way it works and also you wish to perceive it I extremely advocate you to take a look at this publish weblog the place I am going throw the small print of it. And in case you are new to GANs you can begin with this text the place I clarify why GANs are superior, perceive what GANs actually are, how they work, dive deep into the loss operate that they use, after which construct a easy GAN from scratch to generate MNIST.

The dataset that we are going to use on this weblog is that this dataset from Kaggle which comprises 16240 higher garments for girls with 256*192 decision. It is actually a small dataset with low decision in comparison with the one which the authors of ProGAN use which comprises 800k photos with excessive decision 1024*1024 nevertheless it nonetheless offers us good outcomes. You possibly can attempt to use a greater dataset to get better-generated photos of any sort you need (faces, vehicles, homes,…).

Now let’s begin by loading the mandatory libraries.

---

Load all dependencies we’d like

We first will import torch since we’ll use PyTorch, and from there we import nn. That may assist us create and practice the networks, and likewise allow us to import optim, a package deal that implements numerous optimization algorithms (e.g. sgd, adam,..). From torchvision we import datasets and transforms to organize the information and apply some transforms.

We’ll import practical as F from torch.nn to upsample the pictures utilizing interpolate, DataLoader from torch.utils.information to create mini-batch sizes, save_image from torchvision.utils to avoid wasting pretend samples, and log2 type math as a result of we’d like the inverse illustration of the ability of two to implement the adaptive minibatch measurement relying on the output decision, Numpy for linear algebra, os for interplay with the working system, tqdm to indicate progress bars, and eventually matplotlib.pyplot to indicate the outcomes and examine them with the actual ones.

import torch
from torch import nn, optim
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
import torch.nn.practical as F
from torch.utils.information import DataLoader
from torchvision.utils import save_image
from math import log2
import numpy as np
import os
from tqdm import tqdm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

---

Seed every little thing

Let’s seed every little thing to make outcomes considerably reproducible

def seed_everything(seed=42):
    os.environ['PYTHONHASHSEED'] = str(seed)
    np.random.seed(seed)
    torch.manual_seed(seed)
    torch.cuda.manual_seed(seed)
    torch.cuda.manual_seed_all(seed)
    torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True
    torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = False
seed_everything()

---

Hyperparameters

• Initialize the DATASET by the trail of the actual photos.
• Specify the beginning practice at picture measurement 4 by 4 because the paper.
• Initialize the machine by Cuda whether it is out there and CPU in any other case, and studying fee by 0.001.
• The batch measurement shall be completely different relying on the decision of the pictures that we wish to generate, so we initialize BATCH_SIZES by an inventory of numbers, you possibly can change them relying in your VRAM.
• Initialize image_size by 128 and CHANNELS_IMG by 3 as a result of we’ll generate 128  by 128 RGB photos.
• Within the unique paper, they initialize Z_DIM and IN_CHANNELS by 512, however I initialize them by 256 as a substitute for much less VRAM utilization and speed-up coaching. We may even perhaps get higher outcomes if we doubled them.
• For ProGAN we are able to use any of the GANs loss features we wish however we want to comply with the paper precisely, so we’ll use the identical loss operate as they used the Wasserstein loss operate, often known as WGAN-GP from the paper Improved Coaching of Wasserstein GANs. This loss comprises a parameter identify λ and it’s normal to set λ = 10.
• Initialize PROGRESSIVE_EPOCHS by 30 for every picture measurement.

DATASET                 = "Ladies garments"
START_TRAIN_AT_IMG_SIZE = 4
DEVICE                  = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
LEARNING_RATE           = 1e-3
BATCH_SIZES             = [32, 32, 32, 16, 16, 16] #you should use [32, 32, 32, 16, 16, 16, 16, 8, 4] for instance if you wish to practice till 1024x1024, however once more this numbers rely in your vram
image_size              = 128
CHANNELS_IMG            = 3
Z_DIM                   = 256  # ought to be 512 in unique paper
IN_CHANNELS             = 256  # ought to be 512 in unique paper
LAMBDA_GP               = 10
PROGRESSIVE_EPOCHS      = [30] * len(BATCH_SIZES)

Get and test the Knowledge loader

Now let’s create a operate get_loader to:

• Apply some transformation to the pictures (resize the pictures to the decision that we wish, convert them to tensors, then apply some augmentation, and eventually normalize them to be all of the pixels starting from -1 to 1).
• Establish the present batch measurement utilizing the listing BATCH_SIZES, and take as an index the integer variety of the inverse illustration of the ability of two of image_size/4. And that is truly how we implement the adaptive minibatch measurement relying on the output decision.
• Put together the dataset we use ImageFolder as a result of it is already structured in a pleasant means.
• Create mini-batch sizes utilizing DataLoader that take the dataset and batch measurement with shuffling the information.
• Lastly, return the loader and dataset.

def get_loader(image_size):
    rework = transforms.Compose(
        [
            transforms.Resize((image_size, image_size)),
            transforms.ToTensor(),
            transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(p=0.5),
            transforms.Normalize(
                [0.5 for _ in range(CHANNELS_IMG)],
                [0.5 for _ in range(CHANNELS_IMG)],
            ),a
        ]
    )
    batch_size = BATCH_SIZES[int(log2(image_size / 4))]
    dataset = datasets.ImageFolder(root=DATASET, rework=rework)
    loader = DataLoader(
        dataset,
        batch_size=batch_size,
        shuffle=True,
    )
    return loader, dataset

Now let’s test if every little thing works superb and see what the actual photos appear like.

def check_loader():
    loader,_ = get_loader(128)
    fabric ,_ = subsequent(iter(loader))
    _, ax    = plt.subplots(3,3, figsize=(8,8))
    plt.suptitle('Some actual samples', fontsize=15, fontweight="daring")
    ind = 0 
    for okay in vary(3):
        for kk in vary(3):
            ind += 1
            ax[k][kk].imshow((fabric[ind].permute(1,2,0)+1)/2) 
check_loader()

Fashions implementation

Now let’s Implement the ProGAN generator and discriminator with the important thing attributions from the paper. We’ll attempt to make the implementation compact but additionally hold it readable and comprehensible. Particularly, the important thing factors:

• Progressive rising (of mannequin and layers)
• Minibatch std on Discriminator
• Normalization with PixelNorm
• Equalized Studying Charge

We clarify all these key factors intimately on this article.

A lot of the tough components are within the implementation of the fashions. So that is positively going to be the toughest a part of this tutorial, this is the reason I’m asking you to be slightly bit extra targeted and affected person.

Let’s start by constructing the generator.

Within the determine above, we are able to see the structure of the generator. For the variety of channels, we’ve 512 (256 in our case) four-time, then we lower it by 1/2, 1/4, and so on. Let’s outline a variable with the identify elements which shall be utilized in Discrmininator and Generator for the way a lot the channels ought to be multiplied and expanded for every layer.

elements = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16, 1 / 32]

Equalized Studying Charge

Now let’s implement Equalized Studying Charge for the generator, let’s identify the category WSConv2d (weighted scaled convolutional layer) which shall be inherited from nn.Module.

• Within the init half we ship in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size, stride, and padding. We use all of that to do a traditional Conv layer, then we outline a scale that would be the identical because the operate part2 within the determine under, we copy the bias of the present column layer right into a variable as a result of we do not need the bias of the convolution layer to be scaled, then we take away it, Lastly, we initialize conv layer.  

• Within the ahead half, we ship x and all that we’re going to do is multiplicate x with scale and add the bias after reshaping it.

class WSConv2d(nn.Module):

    def __init__(
        self, in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1,
    ):
        tremendous(WSConv2d, self).__init__()
        self.conv      = nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size, stride, padding)
        self.scale     = (2 / (in_channels * (kernel_size ** 2))) ** 0.5
        self.bias      = self.conv.bias #Copy the bias of the present column layer
        self.conv.bias = None      #Take away the bias

        # initialize conv layer
        nn.init.normal_(self.conv.weight)
        nn.init.zeros_(self.bias)

    def ahead(self, x):
        return self.conv(x * self.scale) + self.bias.view(1, self.bias.form[0], 1, 1)

Normalization with PixelNorm

Now let’s create a category for PixelNorm, for normalization.

• Within the init half we outline epsilon by 10^-8.
• Within the ahead half, we ship x, and we return the identical because the operate within the determine under.

class PixelNorm(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        tremendous(PixelNorm, self).__init__()
        self.epsilon = 1e-8

    def ahead(self, x):
        return x / torch.sqrt(torch.imply(x ** 2, dim=1, keepdim=True) + self.epsilon)

ConvBlock

For those who seen within the Generator structure they repeat two convolution layers with three by three filters a bunch of occasions, so let’s make them in a separate class to make the code cleaner, and truly, we’re going to use it within the discriminator as properly, the one distinction between the 2 is that the discriminator we won’t use pixel norm.

• Within the init half we ship in_channels, out_channels, and use_pixelnorm, then we initialize conv1 by WSConv2d which maps in_channels to out_channels, conv2 by WSConv2d which maps out_channels to out_channels, leaky by Leaky ReLU with a slope of 0.2 as they use within the paper, pn by PixelNorm(The final block that we create), and  use_pn by use_pixelnorm to specify if we’re utilizing PixelNorm or not.
• Within the ahead half, we ship x, and we go it to conv1 with leaky, then we normalize it with pn (PixelNorm) if use_pixelnorm is True, in any other case, we do not, and once more we go that into conv2 with leaky and we normalize it if use_pixelnorm is True. Lastly, we return x.

class ConvBlock(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, in_channels, out_channels, use_pixelnorm=True):
        tremendous(ConvBlock, self).__init__()
        self.use_pn = use_pixelnorm
        self.conv1  = WSConv2d(in_channels, out_channels)
        self.conv2  = WSConv2d(out_channels, out_channels)
        self.leaky  = nn.LeakyReLU(0.2)
        self.pn     = PixelNorm()

    def ahead(self, x):
        x = self.leaky(self.conv1(x))
        x = self.pn(x) if self.use_pn else x
        x = self.leaky(self.conv2(x))
        x = self.pn(x) if self.use_pn else x
        return x

Generator

Alright, we’re progressing very properly 😊, now let’s construct the generator.

• For those who see the primary sample within the Generator structure, you’ll discover that’s completely different than different patterns. so within the init half let’s initialize ‘preliminary’ by the layers of the primary sample, then let’s initialize ‘initial_rgb’ by WSConv2d that maps in_channels to img_channels (3 for RGB), prog_blocks by ModuleList() that may comprise all of the progressive blocks (we point out convolution enter/output channels by multiplicate in_channels which is 512 in paper and 256 in our case with elements), and rgb_blocks by ModuleList() that may comprise all of the RGB blocks.
• To fade in new layers (a element of ProGAN), we add the fade_in half, which we ship alpha, scaled, and generated, and we return  [tanh(alpha * generated +(1-alpha) * upscale)] The rationale why we use tanh is that would be the output(the generated picture) and we wish the pixels to be vary between 1 and -1.
• Within the ahead half, we ship x which is the Z_dim, the alpha worth which goes to fade in slowly throughout coaching (alpha is between 0 and 1), and steps which is the quantity of the present decision that we’re working with(steps=0 for 4×4 photos, steps=1 for 8×8 photos,…), then we go x into ‘preliminary’, we test if steps = 0 whether it is, then all we wish to do is run it via the preliminary RGB and we’ve performed, in any other case, we loop over the variety of steps, and in every loop we upscaling(upscaled) and we working via the progressive block that corresponds to that decision(out). In the long run, we return fade_in that takes alpha, out, and upscaled after mapping it to RGB.

class Generator(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, z_dim, in_channels, img_channels=3):
        tremendous(Generator, self).__init__()

        # preliminary takes 1x1 -> 4x4
        self.preliminary = nn.Sequential(
            PixelNorm(),
            nn.ConvTranspose2d(z_dim, in_channels, 4, 1, 0),
            nn.LeakyReLU(0.2),
            WSConv2d(in_channels, in_channels, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1),
            nn.LeakyReLU(0.2),
            PixelNorm(),
        )

        self.initial_rgb = WSConv2d(
            in_channels, img_channels, kernel_size=1, stride=1, padding=0
        )
        self.prog_blocks, self.rgb_layers = (
            nn.ModuleList([]),
            nn.ModuleList([self.initial_rgb]),
        )

        for i in vary(
            len(elements) - 1
        ):  # -1 to stop index error due to elements[i+1]
            conv_in_c  = int(in_channels * elements[i])
            conv_out_c = int(in_channels * elements[i + 1])
            self.prog_blocks.append(ConvBlock(conv_in_c, conv_out_c))
            self.rgb_layers.append(
                WSConv2d(conv_out_c, img_channels, kernel_size=1, stride=1, padding=0)
            )

    def fade_in(self, alpha, upscaled, generated):
        # alpha ought to be scalar inside [0, 1], and upscale.form == generated.form
        return torch.tanh(alpha * generated + (1 - alpha) * upscaled)

    def ahead(self, x, alpha, steps):
        out = self.preliminary(x)

        if steps == 0:
            return self.initial_rgb(out)

        for step in vary(steps):
            upscaled = F.interpolate(out, scale_factor=2, mode="nearest")
            out = self.prog_blocks[step](upscaled)

        # The variety of channels in upscale will keep the identical, whereas
        # out which has moved via prog_blocks would possibly change. To make sure
        # we are able to convert each to rgb we use completely different rgb_layers
        # (steps-1) and steps for upscaled, out respectively
        final_upscaled = self.rgb_layers[steps - 1](upscaled)
        final_out = self.rgb_layers[steps](out)
        return self.fade_in(alpha, final_upscaled, final_out)

DiscriminatorCritic

And on the finish of this part let’s create the discriminatorcritic, I’m not positive what to call it as a result of the authors of WGAN-GP identify it critic and we’re utilizing WGAN-GP.  But it surely’s only a identify, the purpose is to know it and implement it proper.  

Within the determine under you possibly can discover that the generator and discriminator are roughly mirrored photos of one another, and all the time develop in synchrony.

• Within the init half we ship in_channels and im_channels, and we initialize leaky by LeakyReLu with the slide of 0.2,  prog_blocks (keep in mind they’ll be in reverse ordering, we downsample as a substitute of upsampling) by ModuleList() that may comprise all of the progressive blocks, rgb_blocks by ModuleList() that may comprise all of the RGB blocks, initial_rgb by WSConv2d that maps img_channels(3 for RGB) to in_channels, avg_pool for downsampling and remaining black which is the one completely different sample from others (see the determine above).
• Within the fade_in half, we ship alpha, downscaled from the typical pooling, out from the conv layer, and we return  [alpha * out + (1 – alpha) * downscaled]
• For Minibatch std on Discriminator, we add the minibatch_std half once we take the std for every instance (throughout all channels, and pixels) then we repeat it for a single channel and concatenate it with the picture. On this means, the discriminator will get details about the variation within the batch/picture.
• Within the ahead half, we ship x, the alpha worth, and steps, and it going to be precisely the other of the ahead half within the generator. Within the preliminary step, we convert the picture from RGB to in_channels relying on the picture measurement, we test if steps=0 whether it is we simply use minibatch_std  and the ultimate block, in any other case, we fade_in between downscaled and out, then we run via the progressive block that corresponds to the decision of ‘out’, we downsample and we repeat that till we attain the decision that we wish relying on the steps, then we run it via minibatch_std and on the finish we return the final_block.

class Discriminator(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, in_channels, img_channels=3):
        tremendous(Discriminator, self).__init__()
        self.prog_blocks, self.rgb_layers = nn.ModuleList([]), nn.ModuleList([])

        # right here we work again methods from elements as a result of the discriminator

    return gradient_penalty

Within the code snippet under you could find the generate_examples operate that takes the generator gen, the variety of steps to determine the present decision, and a quantity n=100. The objective of this operate is to generate n pretend photos and save them because of this.

Coaching

On this part, we’ll practice our ProGAN

First, let’s use this line of code to offer us some extra efficiency advantages.

torch.backends.cudnn.benchmarks = True

Practice operate

First, we loop over all of the mini-batch sizes that we create with the DataLoader, and we take simply the pictures as a result of we do not want a label, then we determine the present batch measurement as a result of we’d like it later.

Then we arrange the coaching for the discriminatorCritic once we wish to maximize E(critic(actual)) – E(critic(pretend)). This equation means how a lot the critic can distinguish between actual and faux photos if we’ve a big worth which means the distinction between them is giant, if the worth is null which means the critic cannot distinguish between them in any respect.

After that, we arrange the coaching for the generator once we wish to maximize E(critic(pretend)). As a result of the generator needs to idiot the critic, so maximizing this equation means making this E(critic(actual)) – E(critic(pretend)) a smaller worth, which is the other of what the critic need.

Lastly, we replace the alpha worth for fade_in and be certain that it’s between 0 and 1, and we return it.

def train_fn(
    critic,
    gen,
    loader,
    dataset,
    step,
    alpha,
    opt_critic,
    opt_gen,
):
    loop = tqdm(loader, go away=True)
    for batch_idx, (actual, _) in enumerate(loop):
        actual = actual.to(DEVICE)
        cur_batch_size = actual.form[0]

        # Practice Critic: max E[critic(real)] - E[critic(fake)] <-> min -E[critic(real)] + E[critic(fake)]
        # which is equal to minimizing the adverse of the expression
        noise = torch.randn(cur_batch_size, Z_DIM, 1, 1).to(DEVICE)

        pretend = gen(noise, alpha, step)
        critic_real = critic(actual, alpha, step)
        critic_fake = critic(pretend.detach(), alpha, step)
        gp = gradient_penalty(critic, actual, pretend, alpha, step, machine=DEVICE)
        loss_critic = (
            -(torch.imply(critic_real) - torch.imply(critic_fake))
            + LAMBDA_GP * gp
            + (0.001 * torch.imply(critic_real ** 2))
        )

        critic.zero_grad()
        loss_critic.backward()
        opt_critic.step()

        # Practice Generator: max E[critic(gen_fake)] <-> min -E[critic(gen_fake)]
        gen_fake = critic(pretend, alpha, step)
        loss_gen = -torch.imply(gen_fake)

        gen.zero_grad()
        loss_gen.backward()
        opt_gen.step()

        # Replace alpha and guarantee lower than 1
        alpha += cur_batch_size / (
            (PROGRESSIVE_EPOCHS[step] * 0.5) * len(dataset)
        )
        alpha = min(alpha, 1)

        loop.set_postfix(
            gp=gp.merchandise(),
            loss_critic=loss_critic.merchandise(),
        )
        

    return alpha

Coaching

Now since we’ve every little thing let’s put them collectively to coach our ProGAN.

We begin by initializing the generator, the discriminator/critic, and optimizers in the identical means that they did within the paper, then convert the generator and the critic into practice mode, then loop over PROGRESSIVE_EPOCHS, and in every loop, we practice the mannequin variety of epoch occasions, then we generate some pretend photos and save them, because of this, utilizing generate_examples operate, and eventually, we progress to the following picture decision.

# initialize gen and disc, observe: discriminator we referred to as critic,
# in accordance with WGAN paper (because it not outputs between [0, 1])
gen = Generator(
    Z_DIM, IN_CHANNELS, img_channels=CHANNELS_IMG
).to(DEVICE)
critic = Discriminator(
    IN_CHANNELS, img_channels=CHANNELS_IMG
).to(DEVICE)

# initialize optimizers
opt_gen = optim.Adam(gen.parameters(), lr=LEARNING_RATE, betas=(0.0, 0.99))
opt_critic = optim.Adam(
    critic.parameters(), lr=LEARNING_RATE, betas=(0.0, 0.99)
)


gen.practice()
critic.practice()

step = int(log2(START_TRAIN_AT_IMG_SIZE / 4))
for num_epochs in PROGRESSIVE_EPOCHS:
    alpha = 1e-5  # begin with very low alpha, you can begin with alpha=0
    loader, dataset = get_loader(4 * 2 ** step)  # 4->0, 8->1, 16->2, 32->3, 64 -> 4
    print(f"Present picture measurement: {4 * 2 ** step}")

    for epoch in vary(num_epochs):
        print(f"Epoch [{epoch+1}/{num_epochs}]")
        alpha = train_fn(
            critic,
            gen,
            loader,
            dataset,
            step,
            alpha,
            opt_critic,
            opt_gen,
        )
    generate_examples(gen, step, n=100)


    step += 1  # progress to the following img measurement

Consequence

Within the determine under you possibly can see the consequence that we receive after coaching this ProGAN on this dataset with 128*x 128 decision.

Conclusion

On this article, we make a clear, easy, and readable implementation from scratch of ProGAN with the important thing attributions from the paper (Progressive rising, Fading in new layers, Minibatch std on Discriminator, Normalization with PixelNorm, and Equalized Studying Charge) utilizing PyTorch.

Within the upcoming articles, we’ll clarify in depth and implement from scratch StyleGANs to generate additionally some cool style.
