The goal of RGAN is to facilitate training and experimentation with Generative Adversarial Nets (GAN) in R.
You can install the released version of RGAN from CRAN with:
And the development version from GitHub with:
This is a basic example which shows you how to train a GAN and observe training progress on toy data.
Before running RGAN for the first time you need to make sure that torch is properly installed:
install.packages("torch")
#> Installing package into '/private/var/folders/z8/wk0vgp996m74v0g_x797qzf00000gn/T/RtmppUYncE/temp_libpath7cc3448fcda2'
#> (as 'lib' is unspecified)
#>
#> The downloaded binary packages are in
#> /var/folders/z8/wk0vgp996m74v0g_x797qzf00000gn/T//Rtmpa6rd9N/downloaded_packages
library(torch)Then you can get started to train a GAN on toy data (or potentially your own data).
library(RGAN)
# Sample some toy data to play with.
data <- sample_toydata()
# Transform (here standardize) the data to facilitate learning.
# First, create a new data transformer.
transformer <- data_transformer$new()
# Fit the transformer to your data.
transformer$fit(data)
# Use the fitted transformer to transform your data.
transformed_data <- transformer$transform(data)
# Have a look at the transformed data.
par(mfrow = c(3, 2))
plot(
transformed_data,
bty = "n",
col = viridis::viridis(2, alpha = 0.7)[1],
pch = 19,
xlab = "Var 1",
ylab = "Var 2",
main = "The Real Data",
las = 1
)
# Set the device you want to train on.
# First, we check whether a compatible GPU is available for computation.
use_cuda <- torch::cuda_is_available()
# If so we would use it to speed up training (especially for models with image data).
device <- ifelse(use_cuda, "cuda", "cpu")
# Now train the GAN and observe some intermediate results.
res <-
gan_trainer(
transformed_data,
eval_dropout = TRUE,
plot_progress = TRUE,
plot_interval = 600,
device = device
)

After training you can work with the resulting GAN to sample synthetic data, or potentially keep training for further steps.
If you want to sample synthetic data from your GAN you need to provide a GAN Generator and a noise vector (that needs to be a torch tensor and should come from the same distribution that you used during training). For example, we could look at the difference of synthetic data generated with and without dropout during generation/inference (using the same noise vector).
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
# Set the noise vector.
noise_vector <- torch::torch_randn(c(nrow(transformed_data), 2))$to(device = device)
# Generate synthetic data from the trained generator with dropout during generation.
synth_data_dropout <- expert_sample_synthetic_data(res$generator, noise_vector,eval_dropout = TRUE)
# Plot data and synthetic data
GAN_update_plot(data = transformed_data, synth_data = synth_data_dropout, main = "With dropout")
synth_data_no_dropout <- expert_sample_synthetic_data(res$generator, noise_vector,eval_dropout = F)
GAN_update_plot(data = transformed_data, synth_data = synth_data_no_dropout, main = "Without dropout")
If you want to continue training you can pass the generator, discriminator as well as the respective optimizers to gan_trainer like that:
res_cont <- gan_trainer(transformed_data,
generator = res$generator,
discriminator = res$discriminator,
generator_optimizer = res$generator_optimizer,
discriminator_optimizer = res$discriminator_optimizer,
epochs = 10
)
