Introduction
In the Bayesian GAN we propose conditional posteriors for the generator and discriminator weights, and marginalize these posteriors through stochastic gradient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. Key properties of the Bayesian approach to GANs include (1) accurate predictions on semi-supervised learning problems; (2) minimal intervention for good performance; (3) a probabilistic formulation for inference in response to adversarial feedback; (4) avoidance of mode collapse; and (5) a representation of multiple complementary generative and discriminative models for data, forming a probabilistic ensemble.
We illustrate a multimodal posterior over the parameters of the generator. Each setting of these parameters corresponds to a different generative hypothesis for the data. We show here samples generated for two different settings of this weight vector, corresponding to different writing styles. The Bayesian GAN retains this whole distribution over parameters. By contrast, a standard GAN represents this whole distribution with a point estimate (analogous to a single maximum likelihood solution), missing potentially compelling explanations for the data.

Synthetic Data
To run the synthetic experiment from the paper you can use bgan_synth
script. For example, the following comand will train the Bayesian GAN (with D=100 and d=10) for 5000 iterations and store the results in
.
./bgan_synth.py --x_dim 100 --z_dim 10 --numz 10 --out
To run the ML GAN for the same data run
./bgan_synth.py --x_dim 100 --z_dim 10 --numz 1 --out
bgan_synth
has --save_weights
, --out_dir
, --z_dim
, --numz
, --wasserstein
, --train_iter
and --x_dim
parameters. x_dim
contolls the dimensionality of the observed data (x
in the paper). For description of other parameters please see Training options.
Once you run the above two commands you will see the output of each 100th iteration in
In contrast, the output of the standard GAN (corresponding to numz=1, which forces ML estimation) will look like:
indicating clearly the tendency of mode collapse in the standard GAN which, for this synthetic example, is completely avoided by the Bayesian GAN.

Unsupervised and Semi-Supervised Learning on benchmark datasets
MNIST, CIFAR10, CelebA, SVHN
bayesian_gan_hmc
script allows to train the model on standard and custom datasets. Below we describe the usage of this script.
Data preparation
To reproduce the experiments on MNIST, CIFAR10, CelebA and SVHN datasets you need to prepare the data and use a correct --data_path
.
- for MNIST you don't need to prepare the data and can provide any
--data_path
; - for CIFAR10 please download and extract the python version of the data from https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html; then use the path to the directory containing
cifar-10-batches-py
as--data_path
; - for SVHN please download
train_32x32.mat
andtest_32x32.mat
files from http://ufldl.stanford.edu/housenumbers/ and use the directory containing these files as your--data_path
; - for CelebA you will need to have openCV installed. You can find the download links for the data at http://mmlab.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/projects/CelebA.html. You will need to create
celebA
folder withAnno
andimg_align_celeba
subfolders.Anno
must contain thelist_attr_celeba.txt
andimg_align_celeba
must contain the.jpg
files. You will also need to crop the images by runningdatasets/crop_faces.py
script with--data_path
wherecelebA
. When training the model, you will need to use the same--data_path
;
Unsupervised training
You can run unsupervised learning by running the bayesian_gan_hmc
script without --semi
parameter. For example, use
./run_bgan.py --data_path
--dataset svhn --numz 10 --num_mcmc 2 --out_dir
--train_iter 75000 --save_samples --n_save 100
to train the model on the SVHN dataset. This command will run the method for 75000 iterations and save samples every 100 iterations. Here
must lead to the directory where the results will be stored. See data preparation section for an explanation of how to set
. See training options section for a description of other training options.
Semi-supervised training
To run the semi-supervised experiments you can use the run_bgan_semi.py
script, which offers many options including the following:
--out_dir
: path to the folder, where the outputs will be stored--n_save
: samples and weights are saved everyn_save
iterations; default 100--z_dim
: dimensionalit ofz
vector for generator; default 100--data_path
: path to the data; see data preparation for a detailed discussion; this parameter is required--dataset
: can bemnist
,cifar
,svhn
orceleb
; defaultmnist
--batch_size
: batch size for training; default 64--prior_std
: std of the prior distribution over the weights; default 1--num_gen
: same as J in the paper; number of samples ofz
to integrate it out for generators; default 1--num_disc
: same as J_D in the paper; number of samples ofz
to integrate it out for discriminators; default 1--num_mcmc
: same as M in the paper; number of MCMC NN weight samples per z; default 1--lr
: learning rate used by the Adam optimizer; default 0.0002--optimizer
: optimization method to be used:adam
(tf.train.AdamOptimizer) orsgd
(tf.train.MomentumOptimizer); defaultadam
--N
: number of labeled samples for semi-supervised learning--train_iter
: number of training iterations; default 50000--save_samples
: save generated samples during training--save_weights
: save weights during training--random_seed
: random seed; note that setting this seed does not lead to 100% reproducible results if GPU is used
You can also run WGANs with --wasserstein
or train an ensemble of
DCGANs with --ml_ensemble
. In particular you can train a DCGAN with --ml
.
You can train the model in semi-supervised setting by running bayesian_gan_hmc
with --semi
option. Use -N
parameter to set the number of labeled examples to train on. For example, use
./run_bgan_semi.py --data_path
--dataset cifar --num_gen 10 --num_mcmc 2
--out_dir
--train_iter 100000 --N 4000 --lr 0.0005
to train the model on CIFAR10 dataset with 4000 labeled examples. This command will train the model for 100000 iterations and store the outputs in
folder.
To train the model on MNIST with 100 labeled examples you can use the following command.
./bayesian_gan_hmc.py --data_path
/ --dataset mnist --num_gen 10 --num_mcmc 2
--out_dir
--train_iter 100000 -N 100 --semi --lr 0.0005
Custom data
To train the model on a custom dataset you need to define a class with a specific interface. Suppose we want to train the model on the digits dataset. This datasets consists of 8x8 images of digits. Let's suppose that the data is stored in x_tr.npy
, y_tr.npy
, x_te.npy
and y_te.npy
files. We will assume that x_tr.npy
and x_te.npy
have shapes of the form (?, 8, 8, 1)
. We can then define the class corresponding to this dataset in bgan_util.py
as follows.
class Digits:
def __init__(self):
self.imgs = np.load('x_tr.npy')
self.test_imgs = np.load('x_te.npy')
self.labels = np.load('y_tr.npy')
self.test_labels = np.load('y_te.npy')
self.labels = one_hot_encoded(self.labels, 10)
self.test_labels = one_hot_encoded(self.test_labels, 10)
self.x_dim = [8, 8, 1]
self.num_classes = 10
@staticmethod
def get_batch(batch_size, x, y):
"""Returns a batch from the given arrays.
"""
idx = np.random.choice(range(x.shape[0]), size=(batch_size,), replace=False)
return x[idx], y[idx]
def next_batch(self, batch_size, class_id=None):
return self.get_batch(batch_size, self.imgs, self.labels)
def test_batch(self, batch_size):
return self.get_batch(batch_size, self.test_imgs, self.test_labels)
The class must have next_batch
and test_batch
, and must have the imgs
, labels
, test_imgs
, test_labels
, x_dim
and num_classes
fields.
Now we can import the Digits
class in bayesian_gan_hmc.py
from bgan_util import Digits
and add the following lines to to the processing of --dataset
parameter.
if args.dataset == "digits":
dataset = Digits()
After this preparation is done, we can train the model with, for example,
./run_bgan_semi.py --data_path
--dataset digits --num_gen 10 --num_mcmc 2
--out_dir
--train_iter 100000 --save_samples
