The generator network of GANs transforms random noise into meaningful data through a series of convolutional layers.
The discriminator network distinguishes between real and generated samples and provides binary classification output.
The theoretical foundation of GANs relies on probability theory, game theory, and information theory.
Training process of GANs is based on a minimax optimization problem that involves updating the generator and discriminator networks.
Several GANs architectures like StyleGAN, CycleGAN, and Self-Attention GAN have been developed to provide better control, stability, and flexibility.
Mode collapse, vanishing gradients, and poor convergence are some of the major challenges faced during GANs training.
GANs have been used in various domains including image and video processing, generating synthetic datasets, identifying outliers, and data-intensive fields.
The future of GANs includes higher-quality and multimodal outputs, controllable generation, and AI-generated creativity and art.
GANs also pose ethical concerns such as deepfakes, privacy and data security, intellectual property, fair use of synthetic data, and bias in AI models.
Regulation and responsible use of GANs are necessary for the development and growth of the technology.
