An introduction to Generative Adversarial Networks (with code in TensorFlow) - AYLIEN

There has been a large resurgence of interest in generative models recently (see this blog post by OpenAI for example). These are models that can learn to create data that is similar to data that we give them. The intuition behind this is that if we can get a model to write high-quality news articles for example, then it must have also learned a lot about news articles in general. Or in other words, the model should also have a good internal representation of news articles. We can then hopefully use this representation to help us with other related tasks, such as classifying news articles by topic.
