Generate Synthetic Images with DCGANs in Keras

In this project, I have built and trained a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) with Keras to generate images of fashionable clothes.

In the GAN setup, we want to be able to sample from a complex, high-dimensional training distribution of the Fashion MNIST images. However, there is no direct way to sample from this distribution. The solution is to sample from a simpler distribution, such as Gaussian noise. We want the model to use the power of neural networks to learn a transformation from the simple distribution directly to the training distribution that we care about.

The GAN consists of two adversarial players: a discriminator and a generator. I have trained the two players jointly in a minimax game theoretic formulation.

Please have a look at the notebook here, or open it on Colab.
