Glow

Code for reproducing results in "Glow: Generative Flow with Invertible 1x1 Convolutions"

Requirements

• Tensorflow (tested with v1.8.0)
• Horovod (tested with v0.13.4) and (Open)MPI

Download datasets

The datasets are in the Google Cloud locations https://storage.googleapis.com/glow-demo/data/{dataset_name}-tfr.tar. The dataset_names are below, we mention the exact preprocessing / downsampling method for a correct comparison of likelihood.

Quantitative results

• imagenet-oord - Unconditional ImageNet 32x32 and 64x64, as described in PixelRNN/RealNVP papers (we downloaded this processed version).
• lsun_realnvp - LSUN 96x96. Random 64x64 crops taken at processing time, as described in RealNVP.

Qualitative results

• celeba - CelebA-HQ 1024x1024 dataset, as described in Progressive growing of GAN's.
• imagenet - ImageNet 32x32 and 64x64 with class labels. Centre cropped, area downsampled.
• lsun - LSUN 256x256. Centre cropped, area downsampled.

To download and extract celeb for example, run

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/glow-demo/data/celeba-tfr.tar
tar -xvf celeb-tfr.tar

Change hps.data_dir in train.py file to point to the above folder (or use the --data_dir flag when you run train.py)

Train with multiple GPUs using MPI and Horovod

Run default training script with 8 GPUs:

mpiexec -n 8 python train.py
