[NOTE] Our DiffAugment-biggan repo is coming!
This repository contains our implementation of Differentiable Augmentation (DiffAugment) in both PyTorch and Tensorflow. It can be used to significantly improve the data efficiency for GAN training. We have provided the training code of DiffAugment-StyleGAN2 (Tensorflow).
Few-shot generation without pre-training. With DiffAugment, our model can generate high-fidelity images using only 100 Obama portraits, grumpy cats, or pandas from our collected 100-shot datasets, 160 cats or 389 dogs from the AnimalFace dataset at 256×256 resolution.
Unconditional generation results on CIFAR-10. StyleGAN2’s performance drastically degrades given less training data. With DiffAugment, we are able to roughly match its FID and outperform its Inception Score (IS) using only 20% training data.

Overview of DiffAugment for updating D (left) and G (right). DiffAugment applies the augmentation T to both the real sample x and the generated output G(z). When we update G, gradients need to be back-propagated through T, which requires T to be differentiable w.r.t. the input.
To run StyleGAN2 + DiffAugment for unconditional generation on CIFAR and few-shot generation, please refer to the DiffAugment-stylegan2 README.
To help you use DiffAugment in your own codebase, we provide portable DiffAugment operations of both TensorFlow and PyTorch versions in DiffAugment_tf.py and DiffAugment_pytorch.py. Generally, DiffAugment can be easily adopted in any model by substituting every D(x) with D(T(x)), where x can be real images or fake images, D is the discriminator, and T is the DiffAugment operation. For example,
from DiffAugment_pytorch import DiffAugment
# from DiffAugment_tf import DiffAugment
policy = 'color,translation,cutout' # If your dataset is as small as ours (e.g.,
# 100 images), we recommend using the strongest DiffAugment: Color + Translation + Cutout.
# For large datasets, try using a subset of transformations in ['color', 'translation', 'cutout'].
# Welcome to discover more DiffAugment transformations!

# Training loop
reals = sample_real_images() # a batch of real images
fakes = generate_fake_images() # a batch of fake images
real_scores = Discriminator(DiffAugment(reals, policy=policy))
fake_scores = Discriminator(DiffAugment(fakes, policy=policy))
# Calculating loss based on real_scores and fake_scores...
