overview

Until now, GANs, especially those like StyleGANs, have required a considerable amount of time for training. Our new lightweight GAN introduces two modules, Skip-Layer Excitation and self-supervised Discriminator, which significantly reduces the number of parameters. As a result, we are able to train at an astonishingly low cost: high quality images, small amounts of data, one GPU, and a few hours!

Here are the resulting images shown at the beginning. Both images are 1024×1024 in size and are trained with one GPU and 1000 images. The training time is 20 hours for the landscape image and 10 hours for the face image.
