tf.contrib.gan.get_joint_train_hooks

tf.contrib.gan.get_joint_train_hooks(train_steps=namedtuples.GANTrainSteps(1, 1))

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/gan/python/train.py.

Returns a hooks function for sequential GAN training.

When using these train hooks, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE use_locking=True ON ALL OPTIMIZERS TO AVOID RACE CONDITIONS.

The order of steps taken is: 1) Combined generator and discriminator steps 2) Generator only steps, if any remain 3) Discriminator only steps, if any remain

NOTE: Unlike get_sequential_train_hooks, this method performs updates for the generator and discriminator simultaneously whenever possible. This reduces the number of tf.Session calls, and can also change the training semantics.

To illustrate the difference look at the following example:

train_steps=namedtuples.GANTrainSteps(3, 5) will cause get_sequential_train_hooks to make 8 session calls: 1) 3 generator steps 2) 5 discriminator steps

In contrast, get_joint_train_steps will make 5 session calls: 1) 3 generator + discriminator steps 2) 2 discriminator steps

Args:

• train_steps: A GANTrainSteps tuple that determines how many generator and discriminator training steps to take.

Returns:

A function that takes a GANTrainOps tuple and returns a list of hooks.
