AutoGAN: Neural Architecture Search for Generative Adversarial Networks

Code used for AutoGAN: Neural Architecture Search for Generative Adversarial Networks.

Updates

  • Oct-02-2019: Search code is released.

Introduction

We've desinged a novel neural architecture search framework for generative adversarial networks (GANs), dubbed AutoGAN. Experiments validate the effectiveness of AutoGAN on the task of unconditional image generation. Specifically, our discovered architectures achieve highly competitive performance on unconditional image generation task of CIFAR-10, which obtains a record FID score of 12.42, a competitive Inception score of 8.55.

RNN controller:

ctrl

Search space:

ss

Discovered network architecture:

cifar_arch1

Performance

Unconditional image generation on CIFAR-10.

Set-up

environment requirements:

python >= 3.6

torch >= 1.1.0

pip install -r requirements.txt

prepare fid statistic file

mkdir fid_stat

Download the pre-calculated statistics to ./fid_stat.

How to search & train the derived architecture by yourself

sh exps/autogan_search.sh

When the search algorithm is done, you will get a vector denoting the discovered architecture, which can be viewed in the "*.log" file.

To train from scratch and get the performance of your discovered architecture, run the following command (you should replace the architecture vector following "--arch" with yours):

python train_derived.py \
-gen_bs 128 \
-dis_bs 64 \
--dataset cifar10 \
--bottom_width 4 \
--img_size 32 \
--max_iter 50000 \
--gen_model shared_gan \
--dis_model shared_gan \
--latent_dim 128 \
--gf_dim 256 \
--df_dim 128 \
--g_spectral_norm False \
--d_spectral_norm True \
--g_lr 0.0002 \
--d_lr 0.0002 \
--beta1 0.0 \
--beta2 0.9 \
--init_type xavier_uniform \
--n_critic 5 \
--val_freq 20 \
--arch 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 3 \
--exp_name derive

How to train & test the discovered architecture reported in the paper

train

sh exps/autogan_cifar10_a.sh

test

Run the following script:

python test.py \
--dataset cifar10 \
--img_size 32 \
--bottom_width 4 \
--gen_model autogan_cifar10_a \
--latent_dim 128 \
--gf_dim 256 \
--g_spectral_norm False \
--load_path /path/to/*.pth \
--exp_name test_autogan_cifar10_a

Pre-trained models are provided (Google Drive).
