A Multi-Class Hinge Loss for Conditional GANs
Ilya Kavalerov, Wojciech Czaja, Rama Chellappa
Abstract
We propose a new algorithm to incorporate class conditional information into the critic of GANs via a multi-class generalization of the commonly used Hinge loss that is compatible with both supervised and semi-supervised settings. We study the compromise between training a state of the art generator and an accurate classifier simultaneously, and propose a way to use our algorithm to measure the degree to which a generator and critic are class conditional. We show the trade-off between a generator-critic pair respecting class conditioning inputs and generating the highest quality images. With our multi-hinge loss modification we are able to improve Inception Scores and Frechet Inception Distance on the Imagenet dataset.
