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 🖼️
- Create art, faces, or scenes from scratch.
- Example: Generated Image Example
- Data Augmentation 🔄
- Expand datasets for training other models.
- Style Transfer 🎨
- Transform images into different artistic styles.
- Example: Style Transfer Demo
How GANs Work
- The generator produces a sample from random noise.
- The discriminator assesses whether the sample is real or fake.
- Based on feedback, the generator adjusts to improve its output.
