Generative Adversarial Networks Basics

bookGAN Training Loop: Intuition and Pseudocode

In the heart of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) lies its unique training process, where two models — the discriminator and the generator — are locked in a competitive game. During training, you alternate between updating the discriminator and the generator. The discriminator's job is to learn how to distinguish real data from fake data produced by the generator. After the discriminator updates, the generator steps in, trying to create data that can fool the discriminator into thinking it is real. This back-and-forth process continues throughout training, gradually improving both models: the discriminator becomes better at telling real from fake, while the generator becomes more skilled at producing convincing data.

You can represent the GAN training loop with the following high-level pseudocode:

for each epoch:
    for each batch:
        # Train discriminator
        ...
        # Train generator
        ...

Within each batch, you first update the discriminator using both real data and fake data generated by the generator. Then, you update the generator, typically by encouraging it to produce outputs that the discriminator classifies as real. This alternating process is repeated for every batch in every epoch, allowing both models to improve iteratively as adversaries.

Note

Alternating updates are crucial for adversarial learning because they keep the generator and discriminator in a balanced competition. If you only trained one model at a time, the other would fall behind, and the adversarial process would collapse. By alternating updates, you ensure that the discriminator is always adapting to the generator's latest tricks, and the generator is constantly challenged to improve, driving both toward better performance.
