Towards Faster and Stabilized GAN Training for High-fidelity Few-shot Image Synthesis
2020
Training Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) on high-fidelity images usually requires large-scale GPU-clusters and a vast number of training images. In this paper, we study the few-shot image synthesis task for GAN with minimum computing cost. We propose a light-weight GAN structure that gains superior quality on 1024×1024 resolution. Notably, the model converges from scratch with just a few hours of training on a single RTX-2080 GPU; and has a consistent performance, even with less than 100 training samples. Two technique designs constitute our work, a skip-layer channel-wise excitation module and a self-supervised discriminator trained as a feature-encoder. With thirteen datasets covering a wide variety of image domains, we show our model's robustness and its superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art StyleGAN2.
