GANs in Action

Chapter 8. Conditional GAN

This chapter covers

• Using labels to train both the Generator and the Discriminator
• Teaching GANs to generate examples matching a specified label
• Implementing a Conditional GAN (CGAN) to generate handwritten digits of our choice

In the previous chapter, you learned about the SGAN, which introduced you to the idea of using labels in GAN training. SGANs use labels to train the Discriminator into a powerful semi-supervised classifier. In this chapter, you’ll learn about the Conditional GAN (CGAN), which uses labels to train both the Generator and the Discriminator. Thanks to this innovation, a Conditional GAN allows us to direct the Generator to synthesize the kind of fake examples we want.
