| Summary: | Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have achieved great success in generating realistic images. Most of these are conditional models, although acquisition of class labels is expensive and time-consuming in practice. To reduce the dependence on labeled data, we propose an un-conditional generative adversarial model, called K-Means-GAN (KM-GAN), which incorporates the idea of updating centers in K-Means into GANs. Specifically, we redesign the framework of GANs by applying K-Means on the features extracted from the discriminator. With obtained labels from K-Means, we propose new objective functions from the perspective of deep metric learning (DML). Distinct from previous works, the discriminator is treated as a feature extractor rather than a classifier in KM-GAN, meanwhile utilization of K-Means makes features of the discriminator more representative. Experiments are conducted on various datasets, such as MNIST, Fashion-10, CIFAR-10 and CelebA, and show that the quality of samples generated by KM-GAN is comparable to some conditional generative adversarial models. |
