Selection Of

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is a novel class of deep generative models that has recently gained significant attention. GANs learn complex and high-dimensional distributions implicitly over images, audio, and data. However, there exist major challenges in training of GANs, i.e., mode collapse, non-convergence, and instability, due to inappropriate design of network architectre, use of objective function, and selection of optimization algorithm. Recently, to address these challenges, several solutions for better design and optimization of GANs have been investigated based on techniques of re-engineered network architectures, new objective functions, and alternative optimization algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing survey that has particularly focused on the broad and systematic developments of these solutions. In this study, we perform a comprehensive survey of the advancements in GANs design and optimization solutions proposed to handle GANs challenges. We first identify key research issues within each design and optimization technique and then propose a new taxonomy to structure solutions by key research issues. In accordance with the taxonomy, we provide a detailed discussion on different GANs variants proposed within each solution and their relationships. Finally, based on the insights gained, we present promising research directions in this rapidly growing field.

Deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (DCGANs) are newly developed tools for generating synthesized images. To determine the clinical utility of synthesized images, we generated breast ultrasound images and assessed their quality and clinical value. After retrospectively collecting 528 images of 144 benign masses and 529 images of 216 malignant masses in the breasts, synthesized images were generated using a DCGAN with 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 epochs. The synthesized (n = 20) and original (n = 40) images were evaluated by two radiologists, who scored them for overall quality, definition of anatomic structures, and visualization of the masses on a five-point scale. They also scored the possibility of images being original. Although there was no significant difference between the images synthesized with 1000 and 500 epochs, the latter were evaluated as being of higher quality than all other images. Moreover, 2.5%, 0%, 12.5%, 37.5%, and 22.5% of the images synthesized with 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 epochs, respectively, and 14% of the original images were indistinguishable from one another. Interobserver agreement was very good (|r| = 0.708–0.825, p < 0.001). Therefore, DCGAN can generate high-quality and realistic synthesized breast ultrasound images that are indistinguishable from the original images.
