Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a type of deep learning model designed by Ian Goodfellow and his colleagues in 2014.
The invention of GANs has occurred pretty unexpectedly. The famous researcher, then, a PhD fellow at the University of Montreal, Ian Goodfellow, landed on the idea when he was discussing with his friends – at a friend's going away party – about the flaws of the other generative algorithms. After the party, he came home with high hopes and implemented the concept he had in mind. Surprisingly, everything went as he hoped in the ...
