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
Generator
- Creates fake data (e.g., images) from random noise
- Example: Transforming noise into synthetic faces
Discriminator
- Judges whether data is real or fake
- Example: Distinguishing real vs generated images
Adversarial Process
- Generator tries to fool Discriminator
- Discriminator aims to detect fakes
- This dynamic creates a "game" of competing objectives
🧪 Implementation Steps
- Define the generator architecture (e.g., using CNNs)
- Build the discriminator network (e.g., with convolutional layers)
- Train the model through minimax game optimization
- Monitor training progress with loss curves
