Welcome to the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) basics guide! GANs are a powerful framework in machine learning that enables creation of realistic data through two neural networks competing against each other. Let's dive into the core concepts and implementation steps.

📌 Key Components of GANs

  1. Generator

    • Creates fake data (e.g., images) from random noise
    • Generator
    • Example: Transforming noise into synthetic faces
  2. Discriminator

    • Judges whether data is real or fake
    • Discriminator
    • Example: Distinguishing real vs generated images
  3. Adversarial Process

    • Generator tries to fool Discriminator
    • Discriminator aims to detect fakes
    • Adversarial Process
    • This dynamic creates a "game" of competing objectives

🧪 Implementation Steps

  1. Define the generator architecture (e.g., using CNNs)
  2. Build the discriminator network (e.g., with convolutional layers)
  3. Train the model through minimax game optimization
  4. Monitor training progress with loss curves
    • Loss Curves
