Overview of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and their Applications

Today we cover Generative Adversarial Networks – or GANs for short. GANs are some of the most impressive things that we can do using deep learning (a sub-field of Machine Learning). We shall first see how they work, and then see some interesting and recent applications.

Introductory Machine Learning courses cover basic models that can be used for prediction (like regression), or for clustering and classification. However, GANs are used for generation, a completely different type of problem.
