CycleGAN

no cycle-consistency 1000

cycle-consistency 1000 and 10000

apple-orange 10000

With the cycle-consistency the structure of the input cat is maintained much better, although sometimes seems to sacrifice a coherent cat for a cat with the right lightness/darkness around the eye locations. This is because without the cycle-consistency it is only incentivised to make a convincing cat of the right type, not a convincing cat that also corresponds one-to-one (and is thus invertible) to the input cat.

DCDiscriminator 10000

The DCDiscriminator seems to be much more focused on texture than structure compared with the patch discriminator. This is probably because the patch discriminator has spatial data in it which gives it the opportunity to penalize lack of larger spatial relationships.
