Installing the dependencies

Install virtualenv and creating a new virtual environment:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 aa

Install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Note:

• I'd highly recommend using your GPU during training.
• tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits has a targets parameter which has been changed to labels for tensorflow version > r0.12.

Dataset

The MNIST dataset will be downloaded automatically and will be made available in ./Data directory.

Training!

Autoencoder:

Architecture:

To train a basic autoencoder run:

    python3 autoencoder.py --train True

• This trains an autoencoder and saves the trained model once every epoch in the ./Results/Autoencoder directory.

To load the trained model and generate images passing inputs to the decoder run:

    python3 autoencoder.py --train False

Adversarial Autoencoder:

Architecture:

Training:

    python3 adversarial_autoencoder.py --train True

Load model and explore the latent space:

    python3 adversarial_autoencoder.py --train False

Example of adversarial autoencoder output when the encoder is constrained to have a stddev of 5.

Matching prior and posterior distributions.

Distribution of digits in the latent space.

Supervised Adversarial Autoencoder:

Architecture:

Training:

    python3 supervised_adversarial_autoencoder.py --train True

Load model and explore the latent space:

    python3 supervised_adversarial_autoencoder.py --train False

Example of disentanglement of style and content: <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Naresh1318/Adversarial_Autoencoder/master/README/disentanglement%20of%20style%20and%20content.png" alt="Cover"/>

Semi-Supervised Adversarial Autoencoder:

Architecture:

Training:

    python3 semi_supervised_adversarial_autoencoder.py --train True

Load model and explore the latent space:

    python3 semi_supervised_adversarial_autoencoder.py --train False

Classification accuracy for 1000 labeled images:

Note:

• Each run generates a required tensorboard files under ./Results/<model>/<time_stamp_and_parameters>/Tensorboard directory.
• Use tensorboard --logdir <tensorboard_dir> to look at loss variations and distributions of latent code.
• Windows gives an error when : is used during folder naming (this is produced during the folder creation for each run).I would suggest you to remove the time stamp from folder_name variable in the form_results() function. Or, just dual boot linux!
