About | Documentation | Tutorial | Gallery | Paper

Mimicry is a lightweight PyTorch library aimed towards the reproducibility of GAN research.

Comparing GANs is often difficult - mild differences in implementations and evaluation methodologies can result in huge performance differences. Mimicry aims to resolve this by providing: (a) Standardized implementations of popular GANs that closely reproduce reported scores; (b) Baseline scores of GANs trained and evaluated under the same conditions; (c) A framework for researchers to focus on implementation of GANs without rewriting most of GAN training boilerplate code, with support for multiple GAN evaluation metrics.

We provide a model zoo and set of baselines to benchmark different GANs of the same model size trained under the same conditions, using multiple metrics. To ensure reproducibility, we verify scores of our implemented models against reported scores in literature.


Installation

The library can be installed with:

pip install git+https://github.com/kwotsin/mimicry.git

See also setup information for more.

Example Usage

Training a popular GAN like SNGAN that reproduces reported scores can be done as simply as:

import torch
import torch.optim as optim
import torch_mimicry as mmc
from torch_mimicry.nets import sngan

# Data handling objects
device = torch.device('cuda:0' if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
dataset = mmc.datasets.load_dataset(root='./datasets', name='cifar10')
dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    dataset, batch_size=64, shuffle=True, num_workers=4)

# Define models and optimizers
netG = sngan.SNGANGenerator32().to(device)
netD = sngan.SNGANDiscriminator32().to(device)
optD = optim.Adam(netD.parameters(), 2e-4, betas=(0.0, 0.9))
optG = optim.Adam(netG.parameters(), 2e-4, betas=(0.0, 0.9))

# Start training
trainer = mmc.training.Trainer(
    netD=netD,
    netG=netG,
    optD=optD,
    optG=optG,
    n_dis=5,
    num_steps=100000,
    lr_decay='linear',
    dataloader=dataloader,
    log_dir='./log/example',
    device=device)
trainer.train()

# Evaluate fid
mmc.metrics.evaluate(
    metric='fid',
    log_dir='./log/example',
    netG=netG,
    dataset='cifar10',
    num_real_samples=50000,
    num_fake_samples=50000,
    evaluate_step=100000,
    device=device)

Example outputs:

Further Guides

Baselines | Model Zoo

For a fair comparison, we train all models under the same training conditions for each dataset, each implemented using ResNet backbones of the same architectural capacity. We train our models with the Adam optimizer using the popular hyperparameters (β1, β2) = (0.0, 0.9). ndis represents the number of discriminator update steps per generator update step, and niter is simply the number of training iterations.

Models

Abbrev. Name Type*
DCGAN Deep Convolutional GAN Unconditional
WGAN-GP Wasserstein GAN with Gradient Penalty Unconditional
SNGAN Spectral Normalization GAN Unconditional
cGAN-PD Conditional GAN with Projection Discriminator Conditional
SSGAN Self-supervised GAN Unconditional
InfoMax-GAN Infomax-GAN Unconditional

*Conditional GAN scores are only reported for labelled datasets.

Metrics

Metric Method
Inception Score (IS)* 50K samples at 10 splits
Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) 50K real/generated samples
Kernel Inception Distance (KID) 50K real/generated samples, averaged over 10 splits.

*Inception Score can be a poor indicator of GAN performance, as it does not measure diversity and is not domain agnostic. This is why certain datasets with only a single class (e.g. CelebA and LSUN-Bedroom) will perform poorly when using this metric.

Reproducibility

To verify our implementations, we reproduce reported scores in literature by re-implementing the models with the same architecture, training them under the same conditions and evaluate them on CIFAR-10 using the exact same methodology for computing FID.

As FID produces highly biased estimates (where using larger samples lead to a lower score), we reproduce the scores using the same sample sizes, where nreal and nfake refers to the number of real and fake images used respectively for computing FID.

Metric Model Score Reported Score nreal nfake Checkpoint Code
FID DCGAN 28.95 ± 0.42 28.12 [4] 10K 10K netG.pth dcgan_cifar.py
FID WGAN-GP 26.08 ± 0.12 29.3 [6] 50K 50K netG.pth wgan_gp_32.py
FID SNGAN 23.90 ± 0.20 21.7 ± 0.21 [1] 10K 5K netG.pth sngan_32.py
FID cGAN-PD 17.84 ± 0.17 17.5 [2] 10K 5K netG.pth cgan_pd_32.py
FID SSGAN 17.61 ± 0.14 17.88 ± 0.64 [3] 10K 10K netG.pth ssgan_32.py
FID InfoMax-GAN 17.14 ± 0.20 17.14 ± 0.20 [5] 50K 10K netG.pth infomax_gan_32.py

Best FID was reported at 53K steps, but we find our score can improve till 100K steps to achieve 23.13 ± 0.13.
