, Lecture 1 – James Hinns (UA)
1. Explain the problem of mode collapse within GANs, and using an example, describe how the
architecture can allow this to happen. Discuss how the CycleGAN architecture is more
resistant to such problems.
GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) are semi self-supervised and uses 2 neural networks, a
Generator and a Discriminator. The Generator will create fake samples and the Discriminator will classify
the fake and the real samples. The idea is to train both, until the Generator is good enough to fool the
Discriminator, leading to a positive evaluation.
GANs are models that can generate realistic data, but a common problem is mode collapse, where the
Generator produces repetitive outputs. This happens when the Generator fails to capture the full
diversity of the data distribution, leading to a collapse into a single mode or a small set of samples. The
Generator will always use the same result that fools the discriminator.
An example of this is in generating numbers, instead of feeding the Discriminator with a variation of
different numbers, the Generator only feeds the discriminator with the number 6 and manages to fool
the Discriminator. The Discriminator fails to learn the full range of possibilities, leading to mode collapse.
CycleGAN architecture is introduced to address this. CycleGAN involves the use of two GANs working
together on unpaired datasets (that don’t overlap), such as horses in one domain and zebras in another.
- Generator 1 will generate a zebra image based on a horse image. Discriminator 1 then decides
whether it is a real zebra or a generated one.
- Generator 2 translates the generated zebra image by Generator 1, back to the original horse image.
We call this the cyclic image. We can now calculate the identity loss by comparing the original horse
image and the cyclic image.
- This method encourages Generator 1 to take the original input (the images of the horses) and
prevents it from simply generating images that fool the discriminator.
2. In the context of CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks), describe the following concepts
and how they interact with one another: Kernel, Feature Map, Activation Function and
(Max) Pooling. Referring to these concepts, discuss why CNNs are much more prevalent than
MLPs for most vision (image-based) machine learning tasks.
Kernel or filter: a small matrix that scans the input data and looks for specific
patterns/features by multiplying its weights with the input values.
Feature Map: After applying the kernel over the picture, we get a feature map. Each
value in the feature map represents the presence or absence of certain features or
patterns in the input data.
(We slide the matrix/kernel over the input image and calculate the number that you put in the feature map
and than we repeat it over and over until it covers the whole image.)
Activation Function: introduces non-linearity to the network’s decision-making process (to CNN model) and
allows the network to learn complex patterns and make more accurate predictions based on the input data.
For example, in image recognition, an activation function helps a neuron decide whether a certain visual
feature, like a shape, is present in an image. The activation function makes it possible for the neuron to
activate when it detects the desired features and remain inactive when it doesn't.
