LogicGAN: Logic-guided Generative Adversarial Networks
share
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a revolutionary class of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) that have been successfully used to generate realistic images, music, text, and other data. However, it is well known that GAN training can be notoriously resource-intensive and presents many challenges. Further, a potential weakness in GANs is that discriminator DNNs typically provide only one value (loss) of corrective feedback to generator DNNs (namely, the discriminator's assessment of the generated example). By contrast, we propose a new class of GAN we refer to as LogicGAN, that leverages recent advances in (logic-based) explainable AI (xAI) systems to provide a "richer" form of corrective feedback from discriminators to generators. Specifically, we modify the gradient descent process using xAI systems that specify the reason as to why the discriminator made the classification it did, thus providing the richer corrective feedback that helps the generator to better fool the discriminator. Using our approach, we show that LogicGANs learn much faster on MNIST data, achieving an improvement in data efficiency of 45 12.73 quality as measured by Fréchet Inception Distance. Further, we argue that LogicGAN enables users greater control over how models learn than standard GAN systems.
