## Time Constraints & Future Improvements
|
| 6 |
+
|
| 7 |
+
Due to time constraints during this contest, the model was trained for fewer epochs than ideal. Given more time, the following improvements and additional training steps would have been performed:
|
| 8 |
+
|
| 9 |
+
- **Extended Training**: Train the GAN for more epochs (50-100 instead of 10) to improve image quality and diversity
|
| 10 |
+
- **Hyperparameter Optimization**: Experiment with different learning rates, batch sizes, and optimizer settings
|
| 11 |
+
- **Advanced GAN Techniques**:
|
| 12 |
+
- Implement label smoothing for more stable training
|
| 13 |
+
- Add noise injection to discriminator inputs
|
| 14 |
+
- Use progressive growing or spectral normalization
|
| 15 |
+
- **Architecture Improvements**:
|
| 16 |
+
- Increase the size and complexity of generator and discriminator networks
|
| 17 |
+
- Explore ResNet or U-Net based architectures
|
| 18 |
+
- Add self-attention mechanisms
|
| 19 |
+
- **Training Stability**:
|
| 20 |
+
- Implement Wasserstein loss or LSGAN loss functions
|
| 21 |
+
- Use feature matching and minibatch discrimination
|
| 22 |
+
- Apply gradient penalty techniques
|
| 23 |
+
- **Evaluation & Fine-tuning**:
|
| 24 |
+
- Perform more extensive evaluation using FID and IS scores
|
| 25 |
+
- Fine-tune to reduce artifacts and improve digit clarity
|
| 26 |
+
- Add more sophisticated conditioning mechanisms
|
| 27 |
+
- **Alternative Architectures**:
|
| 28 |
+
- Explore Conditional GANs with attention mechanisms
|
| 29 |
+
- Implement VAE-GAN hybrid models
|
| 30 |
+
- Try diffusion-based generation approaches
|
| 31 |
+
|
| 32 |
+
## Current Results
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
Despite the limited training time, the model successfully generates recognizable digits for all classes (0-9) with reasonable diversity, meeting the contest requirements.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
