The thumbstamp version of creating fake celeb faces was one of the projects for the Deep Learning Udacity nanodegree. (These get changed over time, so it may be different now.)

The dataset of 200,000 celeb photos with the face nicely centered at a known location is a nontrivial part of making the exercise feasible.

I trained on windows with a 6Gb 1060, and went off script from the DCGAN paper, by using upscaling rather than transpose convolutions. Once all the fiddling details are set correctly, the results are quite amazing. It didn’t even require a complete single pass over that dataset.
