What is GAN / Generative Adversarial Network
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a class of machine learning frameworks introduced by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. At their core, they consist of two neural networks: a generator and a discriminator. The generator aims to produce data that resembles real data, while the discriminator's role is to distinguish between real and generated data. This adversarial process allows GANs to generate high-quality images, audio, and other data types.
GANs have found applications in various fields, including image generation, image inpainting, super-resolution reconstruction, and data augmentation. They are also showing potential in areas like medical imaging and autonomous driving. As technology evolves, GANs may achieve greater breakthroughs in the authenticity and diversity of generated content, but they also raise concerns about potential misuse, such as generating fake information.
