For our week 12 assignment, we’re asked to create an environment and train a CycleGan. As noted, this could take several days, and good results would require much longer training time. In order to circumvent this, we can use a well trained cycleGan model from the original tensorflow based repo linked below. With the pretrained model saved in as our checkpoint, I stylized several images using the van gogh 2 photo dataset. The results are below:
