Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for IoT

Implementing a vanilla GAN in TensorFlow

In this section, we'll write a TensorFlow code to implement a GAN, as we learned in the previous section. We'll use simple MLP networks for both the discriminator and generator. And for simplicity, we'll use the MNIST dataset:

1. As always, the first step is to add all of the necessary modules. Since we'll need to access and train the generator and discriminator parameters alternatively, we'll define our weights and biases in the present code for clarity. It's always better to initialize weights using the Xavier initialization and biases to all zeros. So, we also import from TensorFlow a method to perform Xavier initialization, from tensorflow.contrib.layers import xavier_initializer:
