Usage

Obtain dataset

1. Download data (NPY files) from here, and put them in corresponding data directories (metasurface/data/ or airfoil/data/).

Create virtual environment

1. Go to the code directory. Create the environment from the environment.yml file:

   conda env create -f environment.yml

2. Activate the new environment:

   conda activate ganduf

Train generative model

1. Go to example directory (metasurface or airfoil).

2. Train model:

   python main.py train

   The values of the model and training configuration will be read from the file config.ini.

   The trained model and the result plots will be saved under the directory trained_model/<parent_latent_dim>_<child_latent_dim>/, where <parent_latent_dim> and <child_latent_dim> are parent and child latent dimensions, respectively, and are specified in config.ini.

Test the trained model

1. Generate result plots using the trained model:

   python main.py test
