SeqGAN: GANs for sequence generation

As the "artistic" capabilities of AI systems starting taking us by awe (the images on the left were generated by a computer program), people wondered -- why not make it a "creative writer" too?! To understand what this entails, let's discuss in brief about what GANs generally do and then in detail about SeqGANs. GANs are capable of mimicking any distribution of data and can be taught to generate images, music, prose, etc. A GAN is typically a team of two (neural networks) -- A Generator and a Discriminator. Let us talk in terms of images.
