Generative Adversarial Networks -- A Deep Learning Architecture

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)Generative Adversarial Nets, or GAN, in short, are neural nets which were first introduced by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. The algorithm has been hailed as an important milestone in Deep learning by many AI pioneers. Yann Le Cunn (father of convolutional neural networks) told that GANs is the coolest thing that has happened in deep learning within the last 20 years. Many versions of GAN have since come up like DCGAN, Sequence-GAN, LSTM-GAN, etc. GANs are neural networks composed up of two networks competing with each other. The two networks namely generator -- to generate data set and discriminator -- to validate the data set.
