Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) Tutorial

A beginner-friendly guide to understanding and implementing GANs.

What are GANs?

GANs are a type of unsupervised learning algorithm that consist of two neural networks:

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

The two networks compete in a zero-sum game, improving over time through adversarial training.

Key Concepts

1. Adversarial Process: Generator tries to fool Discriminator, while Discriminator aims to detect fake data.
2. Loss Functions: Minimax game framework for training.
3. Applications: Image generation, style transfer, data augmentation.

Practical Examples

Try implementing a GAN to generate handwritten digits using this tutorial.
Or explore advanced techniques like CycleGAN for image-to-image translation.
