DCGAN Tensorflow
This is a TensorFlow implementation of the Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) architecture, providing a framework for training generative models that produce synthetic images from random noise vectors. The project implements the core DCGAN design, using transposed convolutions for upsampling, batch normalization for training stability, and leaky ReLU activations in the discriminator, all executed as static TensorFlow computation graphs.
The implementation supports training on custom image datasets by accepting user-supplied image folders without requiring a predefined format, and includes tools for monitoring the adversarial training process. During training, the system logs generator and discriminator loss curves and records histograms of discriminator output distributions, enabling users to track model convergence and training dynamics. The trained generator can produce realistic face images from 100-dimensional random noise vectors, and supports feature interpolation by varying individual input dimensions to smoothly transition between facial attributes.
