mnist_acgan

Train an Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network (ACGAN) on the MNIST dataset. See https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.09585 for more details.

You should start to see reasonable images after ~5 epochs, and good images by ~15 epochs. You should use a GPU, as the convolution-heavy operations are very slow on the CPU. Prefer the TensorFlow backend if you plan on iterating, as the compilation time can be a blocker using Theano.
