• Abstract: Auxiliary Classifier GANs (AC-GANs) are widely used conditional generative models and are capable of generating high-quality images. Previous work has pointed out that AC-GAN learns a biased distribution. To remedy this, Twin Auxiliary Classifier GAN (TAC-GAN) introduces a twin classifier to the min-max game. However, it has been reported that using a twin auxiliary classifier may cause instability in training. To this end, we propose an Unbiased Auxiliary GANs (UAC-GAN) that utilizes the Mutual Information Neural Estimator (MINE) to estimate the mutual information between the generated data distribution and labels. To further improve the performance, we also propose a novel projection-based statistics network architecture for MINE. Experimental results on three datasets, including Mixture of Gaussian (MoG), MNIST and CIFAR10 datasets, show that our UAC-GAN performs better than AC-GAN and TAC-GAN. Code can be found on the project website.

  We study the dependence of the GAN-based augmentation performance on dataset size with a focus on small samples. We train StyleGAN2-ADA with both sets and then, after validating the quality of generated images, we use trained GANs as one of the augmentations approaches in multi-class classification problems. The GAN-based augmentation approach is found to be comparable with classical augmentation in the case of medium and large datasets but underperforms in the case of smaller datasets.

  Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGAN) generate realistic images by incorporating class information into GAN. One of the most popular cGANs is an auxiliary classifier GAN with softmax cross-entropy loss (ACGAN) ACGAN also tends to generate easily classifiable samples with a lack of diversity.

  Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) are implicit generative models which allow to sample from class-conditional distributions. Some representative cGANs avoid the shortcoming and reach state-of-the-art performance without having classifiers. In this work, we demonstrate that classifiers can be properly leveraged to improve cGANs.

  Conditional generative models aim to learn the underlying joint distribution of data and labels. auxiliary classifier generative adversarial networks (AC-GAN) have been widely used, but suffer from the issue of low intra-class diversity on generated samples. We propose novel cGANs with auxiliary discriminative classifier (ADC-GAN) to address the issue of AC-GAN.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been widely-used in image translation, but their high computation and storage costs impede the deployment on mobile devices. We introduce a novel GAN compression method, termed DMAD, by proposing a Differentiable Mask and a co-Attention Distillation. Experiments show DMAD can reduce the Multiply Accumulate Operations (MACs) of CycleGAN by 13x and that of Pix2Pix by 4x while retaining a comparable performance against the full model.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a revolutionary class of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that have been successfully used to generate realistic images, music, text, and other data. We propose a new class of GAN that leverages recent advances in explainable AI (xAI) systems to provide a "richer" form of corrective feedback from discriminators to generators. We observe xAI-GANs provide an improvement of up to 23.18% in the quality of generated images on both MNIST and FMNIST datasets over standard GANs.
