What are GANs?

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a class of unsupervised learning algorithms consisting of two neural networks:

  • Generator: Creates synthetic data (e.g., images) to mimic real data.
  • Discriminator: Evaluates generated data to distinguish it from real data.

This adversarial process drives the generator to produce increasingly realistic outputs. 💥

Key Applications of GANs

  • Image Generation 🖼️
  • Data Augmentation 🔄
    • Expand datasets for training other models.
  • Style Transfer 🎨

How GANs Work

  1. The generator produces a sample from random noise.
  2. The discriminator assesses whether the sample is real or fake.
  3. Based on feedback, the generator adjusts to improve its output.
