 ==Part 2: Implement the Improved Wasserstein GAN training algorithm== ==Part 2: Implement the Improved Wasserstein GAN training algorithm==
  
-Gradients:+The implementation of the improved Wasserstein GAN training algorithm (hereafter called "​WGAN-GP"​) is fairly straightforward,​ but involves a few new details about tensorflow:
  
-tf.gradients+  * **Gradient norm penalty.** ​ First of all, you must compute the gradient of the output of the discriminator with respect to x-hat. ​ To do this, you should use the ''​tf.gradients''​ function. 
 +  * **Reuse of variables.** ​ Remember that because the discriminator is being called multiple times, you must ensure that you do not create new copies of the variables. ​ Note that ''​scope''​ objects have a ''​reuse_variables()''​ function. 
 +  * **Trainable variables.** ​ In the algorithm, two different Adam optimizers are created, one for the generator, and one for the discriminator. ​ You must make sure that each optimizer is only training the proper subset of variables! ​ There are multiple ways to accomplish this.  For example, you could use scopes, or construct the set of trainable variables by examining their names and seeing if they start with "​d_"​ or "​g_":​ 
 +<code python>​ 
 +t_vars = tf.trainable_variables() 
 +self.d_vars = [var for var in t_vars if '​d_'​ in var.name] 
 +self.g_vars = [var for var in t_vars if '​g_'​ in var.name] 
 +</​code>​
  
-Reuse of variables+I didn't try to optimize the hyperparameters;​ these are the values that I used:
  
-scope.reuse_variables+<code python>​ 
 +beta1 = 0.5 # 0 
 +beta2 = 0.999 # 0.9 
 +lambda = 10 
 +ncritic = 1 # 5 
 +alpha = 0.0002 # 0.0001 
 +m = 64
  
-Trainable variables+batch_norm decay=0.9 
 +batch_norm epsilon=1e-5 
 +</​code>​
  
-Two Adam optimizers+Changing to number of critic steps from 5 to 1 didn't seem to matter; changing the alpha parameters to 0.0001 didn't seem to matter; but changing beta1 and beta2 to the values suggested in the paper (0.0 and 0.9, respectively) seemed to make things a lot worse.
