Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): An Overview

GAN or Generative Adversarial Network is one of the most fascinating inventions in the field of AI. All the amazing news articles we come across every day, related to machines achieving splendid human-like tasks, are mostly the work of GANs! For instance, if you ever heard of AI bots which create human-like paintings, it is essentially GANs behind the awe-inspiring strokes. Or if you have heard of AI bots which create human faces from scratch, faces which do not even exist yet, that too is entirely the imaginative work of powerful GANs. GANs have a lot of applications and one is often led to wonder how simple machines can achieve such fascinating and in fact, extensively creative accomplishments so efficiently. If you are an observer of the real world, you might have noticed that an individual, whether it be an individual from the animal or plant kingdom, often grows stronger when it faces any sort of competition.
