3 different types of generative adversarial networks (GANs) and how they work Packt Hub

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been greeted with real excitement since their creation back in 2014 by Ian Goodfellow and his research team. Yann LeCun, Facebook's Director of AI Research went as far as describing GANs as "the most interesting idea in the last 10 years in ML." With all this excitement, however, it can be easy to miss the subtle diversity of GANs; there are a number of different types of generative adversarial networks, each one working in slightly different ways and helping engineers to achieve slightly different results. To give you a deeper insight on GANs, in this article we'll look at three different generative adversarial networks: SRGANs, CycleGANs, and InfoGANs. We'll explore how these different GANs work and how they can be used.
