Recent Developments in Generative Adversarial Networks: A Review (Workshop Paper)
Ankit Kumar Yadav, Dinesh Kumar Vishwakarma · 2020
In recent times, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have created a lot of buzz in the research community. GANs are formulated on the zero-sum game theory, where two neural nets compete against each other. The resultant deep model is capable of generating data similar to any data distribution provided. It utilizes the adversarial learning approach and is far more capable in learning features than the traditional machine learning models. This review focusses on the origin and evolution of GANs. Firstly, the traditional GAN is explored in terms of its structure and loss functions. Then come the common challenges of training GANs. Thirdly, the review dives into numerous GAN variants and explains their improvements. The review then lists the wide variety of applications and ends with the conclusion.
