Building a Generative Adversarial Network for Image Synthesis

Abstract

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have emerged as a powerful class of generative models, capable of synthesizing realistic images by leveraging adversarial training. It explores the process of building a Generative Adversarial Network for image synthesis, delving into the underlying architecture, training methodology, and potential applications. Generative Adversarial Networks typically run unsupervised and use a cooperative zero- sum game framework to learn, where one person's gain equals another person's loss. The proposed Generative Adversarial Network architecture consists of a generator network that learns to create images from random noise and a discriminator network trained to distinguish between real and generated images. Through an adversarial training process, these networks iteratively refine their capabilities, resulting in a generator that produces increasingly realistic pictures and a discriminator with enhanced discriminative abilities. Generative Adversarial Networks are an effective tool for producing realistic, high-quality outputs in a variety of fields, including text and image generation, because of this back-and- forth competition, which results in the creation of increasingly convincing and indistinguishable synthetic data.
