Objective functions

Objective for metric learning:

triplet_loss = triplet_(ml_real_out,ml_real_out_shuffle,ml_fake_out_shuffle)

Objective for manifold matching with learned metric:

g_loss = p_dist + c_dist 

where

ml_real_out = netML(real_img) # real data
ml_fake_out = netML(fake_img) # generated data 

# shuffle in batch
r1=torch.randperm(batch_size)
r2=torch.randperm(batch_size)
ml_real_out_shuffle = ml_real_out[r1[:, None]].view(ml_real_out.shape[0],ml_real_out.shape[-1])
ml_fake_out_shuffle = ml_fake_out[r2[:, None]].view(ml_fake_out.shape[0],ml_fake_out.shape[-1])

# pairwise distances 
pd_r = pairwise_distances(ml_real_out, ml_real_out) 
pd_f = pairwise_distances(ml_fake_out, ml_fake_out)
 
# matching terms 
p_dist =  torch.dist(pd_r,pd_f,2) # matching 2-diameters             
c_dist = torch.dist(ml_real_out.mean(0),ml_fake_out.mean(0),2) # matching centroids  

Training

To train a model for unconditonal generation, run:

python train.py

       

We also tried our objective on generating higher resolution images using a StyleGAN2 data generator and a simple metric generator. Implemenation details can be found here. Below are randomly generated 512x512 samples on FFHQ dataset at ~150K iterations:
