BigGAN-deep is a deeper version (4x) of BigGAN. The main difference is a slightly differently designed residual block. Here the z vector is concatenated with the conditional vector without splitting it into chunks. It is also based on residual blocks with bottlenecks. BigGAN-deep uses a different strategy than BigGAN aimed at preserving identity throughout the skip connections. In G, where the number of channels needs to be reduced, BigGAN-deep simply retains the first group of channels and drop the rest to produce the required number of channels. In D, where the number of channels should be increased, BigGAN-deep passes the input channels unperturbed, and concatenates them with the remaining channels produced by a 1 × 1 convolution. As far as the network configuration is concerned, the discriminator is an exact reflection of the generator.

There are two blocks at each resolution (BigGAN uses one), and as a result BigGAN-deep is four times deeper than BigGAN. Despite their increased depth, the BigGAN-deep models have significantly fewer parameters mainly due to the bottleneck structure of their residual blocks.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (11 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
