Experimental Setup: Generating Sequences with GANs

Understand the data preprocessing, implementation of auxiliary functions, and loss functions.

We'll cover the following

Data
Auxiliary training functions

In this lesson, we will start by implementing methods that are necessary for preparing and loading our data during training. Next, we will learn to implement auxiliary functions that are required for the WGAN-GP. Lastly, we are going to write code to set up training and the training loop itself.

Data

We will focus on the One Billion Word Benchmark dataset that was proposed in 2013 in the paper “One Billion Word Benchmark for Measuring Progress in Statistical Language Modeling” by Ciprian Chelba et al. This dataset can be downloaded from here.

We will start with the imports that include the libraries and functions:
