8 Generative adversarial networks (GANs)

This chapter covers

  • Understanding the basic components of GANs: generative and discriminative models
  • Evaluating generative models
  • Learning about popular vision applications of GANs
  • Building a GAN model

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a new type of neural architecture introduced by Ian Goodfellow and other researchers at the University of Montreal, including Yoshua Bengio, in 2014.1 GANs have been called “the most interesting idea in the last 10 years in ML” by Yann LeCun, Facebook’s AI research director.
