The input image is divided into smaller images called patches or receptive fields which are then passed through convolutional layers. Each convolutional layer has multiple filters which convolve with these patches or receptive fields. These filters learn features like edges at lower levels while learning high level features like face or eye at higher levels. Convolution operation helps us learn spatial hierarchies between different objects present in an image. ### Style Transfer Algorithm In style transfer algorithm we have three types of images: * Content image * Style image * Output image We define two loss functions: * Content loss function * Style loss function We minimize these loss functions iteratively using back propagation. ### Content Loss Function To define content loss function we use pretrained VGG19 model. We pass content image through VGG19 model which gives us output from each layer. We use output from certain layers called content layers as reference output. Then we pass output image through VGG19 model which gives us output from each layer. We use output from same content layers as reference output. Content loss function is defined as mean squared error between reference output for content image and reference output for output image. ### Style Loss Function To define style loss function we use pretrained VGG19 model. We pass style image through VGG19 model which gives us output from each layer. We compute gram matrix for each layer which captures correlations between different features at that particular layer. Gram matrix is computed by multiplying feature map with its transpose. We use gram matrix as reference gram matrix for style image. Then we pass output image through VGG19 model which gives us output from each layer. We compute gram matrix for each layer which captures correlations between different features at that particular layer. Style loss function is defined as mean squared error between reference gram matrix for style image and gram matrix for output image computed at each layer. ## Results ### Content Loss Function Content loss function is defined as mean squared error between reference output for content image and reference output for output image.

The generator network generates fake samples while discriminator network classifies real samples from training set & fake samples generated by generator network. The generator network tries to fool discriminator network by generating fake samples similar to real samples while discriminator network tries to classify fake samples generated by generator network correctly as fake & real samples correctly as real. Generator network & discriminator network are trained simultaneously where generator network tries to minimize its objective while discriminator network tries to maximize its objective. The objective can be represented by min-max game where one minimizes its objective while other maximizes its objective: $$min_{G} max_{D} V(D,G) = mathbb{E}_{x sim p_{data}(x)}[log D(x)] + mathbb{E}_{z sim p_z(z)}[log(1 - D(G(z)))]$$ where $$x$$ represents real sample drawn from training set $$mathcal{X}$$ having distribution $$p_{data}(x)$$ while $$z$$ represents random noise vector drawn from noise distribution $$p_z(z)$$. ## Results ### Architecture **Generator Network** Generator network takes random noise vector $$z$$ drawn from noise distribution $$p_z(z)$$ as input & generates fake sample $$G(z)$$. class Generator(nn.Module): def __init__(self): super(Generator,self).__init__() self.main = nn.Sequential( nn.ConvTranspose2d(100,128,(7,7),stride=(1,1),padding=(0,0)), nn.BatchNorm2d(128), nn.ReLU(), nn.ConvTranspose2d(128,64,(5,5),stride=(2,2),padding=(2,2)), nn.BatchNorm2d(64), nn.ReLU(), nn.ConvTranspose2d(64,32,(5,5),stride=(2,2),padding=(2,2)), nn.BatchNorm2d(32), nn.ReLU(), nn.ConvTranspose2d(32,1,(5,5),stride=(2,2),padding=(2,2)), nn.Sigmoid() ) def forward(self,x): return self.main(x) **Discriminator Network** Discriminator network takes either real sample $$x$$ drawn from training set $$mathcal{X}$$ having distribution $$p_{data}(x)$$ or fake sample $$G(z)$$ generated by generator network as input & classifies it as real or fake. class Discriminator(nn.Module): def __init__(self): super(Discriminator,self).__init__() self.main = nn.Sequential( nn.Conv2d(1,32,(5,5),stride=(2,2),padding=(2,2)), nn.LeakyReLU(negative_slope=0.01), nn.Conv2d(32,64,(5,5),stride=(2,2),padding=(2,2)), nn.BatchNorm2d(64), nn.LeakyReLU(negative_slope=0.01), nn.Conv2d(64,128,(5,5),stride=(2,2),padding=(2,2)), nn.BatchNorm2d(128), nn.LeakyReLU(negative_slope=0.01), Flatten(), nn.Linear(128*4*4 ,1), nn.Sigmoid() ) def forward(self,x): return self.main(x) ### Training Loop for epoch in range(num_epochs): for i , data in enumerate(train_loader): # get data real_images = data[0] # train discriminator # zero gradients d_optimizer.zero_grad() # forward pass logits_real = d(real_images) # compute error & backpropagate gradients d_real_loss = criterion(logits_real , torch.ones_like(logits_real)) d_real_loss.backward() # generate fake images z = torch.randn(batch_size , z_dim , device=device) fake_images = g(z) # forward pass logits_fake = d(fake_images.detach()) # compute error & backpropagate gradients d_fake_loss = criterion(logits_fake , torch.zeros_like(logits_fake)) d_fake_loss.backward() # update weights d_optimizer.step() ## Results ### Training Loss Epoch : [10][400/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.944] Epoch : [10][500/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.941] Epoch : [10][600/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.936] Epoch : [20][100/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.871] Epoch : [20][200/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.844] Epoch : [20][300/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.820] Epoch : [20][400/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.802] Epoch : [20][500/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.787] Epoch : [20][600/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.776] Epoch : [30][100/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.758] Epoch : [30][200/600] D_Loss : [0.001] G_Loss : [7.743
