Model Card for DCGAN (PyTorch)
Model Details
Model Description
This is a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) implemented in PyTorch.
It is trained to generate synthetic images that resemble the target dataset distribution.
- Developed by: Abhishek C.
- Funded by [optional]: Self Funded
- Shared by: None
- Model type: Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN)
- Language(s): N/A (Image generation)
- License: Apache-2.0
- Finetuned from model [optional]: Not applicable (trained from scratch)
Uses
Direct Use
- Generating synthetic images from random noise vectors (
z ~ N(0,1)
). - Data augmentation for research and experimentation.
- Educational purposes to study GAN training and generative modeling.
Downstream Use
- Fine-tuning the discriminator or generator on domain-specific datasets.
- Using the pretrained generator as an initialization for conditional GANs.
Out-of-Scope Use
- Medical or safety-critical applications without validation.
- Misuse for generating harmful or misleading content.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
- Generated images may contain artifacts if training is insufficient.
- Quality depends heavily on dataset diversity and size.
- Model may amplify dataset biases.
Recommendations
- Always evaluate generated images before downstream use.
- Do not use in decision-critical tasks.
- Use larger datasets for stable performance.
How to Get Started with the Model
import torch
from torch import nn
# Load pretrained generator (example structure)
class Generator(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, nz=100, ngf=64, nc=3):
super().__init__()
self.main = nn.Sequential(
nn.ConvTranspose2d(nz, ngf*8, 4, 1, 0, bias=False),
nn.BatchNorm2d(ngf*8),
nn.ReLU(True),
nn.ConvTranspose2d(ngf*8, ngf*4, 4, 2, 1, bias=False),
nn.BatchNorm2d(ngf*4),
nn.ReLU(True),
nn.ConvTranspose2d(ngf*4, ngf*2, 4, 2, 1, bias=False),
nn.BatchNorm2d(ngf*2),
nn.ReLU(True),
nn.ConvTranspose2d(ngf*2, nc, 4, 2, 1, bias=False),
nn.Tanh()
)
def forward(self, input):
return self.main(input)
# Example usage
netG = Generator()
noise = torch.randn(16, 100, 1, 1)
fake_images = netG(noise)
