We provide guidelines for\ndesigning CapsNet discriminators and the updated GAN objective function, which\nincorporates the CapsNet margin loss, for training CapsuleGAN models. We show\nthat CapsuleGAN outperforms convolutional-GAN at modeling image data\ndistribution on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets, evaluated on the generative\nadversarial metric and at semi-supervised image classification.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1802.06167v7","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.06167v7.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"capsulegan-generative-adversarial-capsule","repo_url":"https://github.com/CPUFronz/CapsVoxGAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Generative Adversarial Network"},{"task_slug":"image-classification","task_name":"Image Classification"},{"task_slug":"semi-supervised-image-classification","task_name":"Semi-Supervised Image Classification"},{"task_slug":"image-classification","task_name":"image-classification"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"fixcaps","method_name":"Capsule Network"},{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1802.06167","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1802.06167","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
