Closed-Loop Training for Projected GAN
Jiangwei Zhao, Liang Zhang, Lili Pan, Hongliang Li · IEEE Signal Processing Letters · 2023
Projected GAN, a pre-trained GAN, has been found to perform well in generating images with only a few training samples. However, it struggles with extended training, which may lead to decreased performance over time. This is because the pre-trained discriminator consistently surpasses the generator, creating an unstable training environment. In this work, we propose a solution to this issue by introducing closed-loop control (CLC) into the dynamics of Projected GAN, stabilizing training, and improving generation performance. Our proposed method consistently reduces the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) of the previous methods; for example, it reduces the FID of Projected GAN by 4.31 on the Obama dataset. Our finding is fundamental and can be used in other pre-trained GANs.
