# GAN for Comic Faces Paired Generation
## Model Overview
This model implements a **Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)** with a **UNet generator** and a **PatchGAN discriminator**. The network is designed to generate paired images of comic faces based on a synthetic dataset of comic faces. The model aims to generate high-quality image pairs where the first image is transformed into a second target image (e.g., photo-to-cartoon or cartoon-to-photo transformations).
- **Dataset:** [Comic Faces Paired Synthetic Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/defileroff/comic-faces-paired-synthetic)
- **Batch Size:** 32
- **Input Shape:** (3, 256, 256) (RGB Images)
- **Output Shape:** (3, 256, 256)
## Model Architecture
### Generator: **UNet**
The generator uses a **UNet architecture**, which is designed for image-to-image translation tasks. It has an encoder-decoder structure with skip connections, allowing for high-resolution output. The architecture includes the following layers:
- **Encoder Path (Contracting Path):**
The encoder consists of **DoubleConv** layers that progressively downsample the input image to extract features. It uses **MaxPool2d** to reduce spatial dimensions.
- **Bottleneck:**
The deepest layer of the network (with 1024 feature channels) processes the smallest version of the image.
- **Decoder Path (Expanding Path):**
The decoder uses **Upsample** layers to progressively increase the spatial dimensions and **DoubleConv** layers to refine the output. Skip connections are used to combine features from the encoder path.
- **Final Convolution:**
The final layer outputs the transformed image using a **1x1 convolution**.
### Discriminator: **PatchGANDiscriminator**
The discriminator uses a **PatchGAN** architecture, which classifies patches of the image as real or fake. The discriminator works by processing the **input image and output image pair** (3 channels for the input image + 3 channels for the generated output). It progressively reduces the spatial dimensions using **Conv2d** and **LeakyReLU** activations, while normalizing each layer with **InstanceNorm2d**. The final output is a probability score indicating whether the patch is real or fake.
