GAN
A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is a deep learning model architecture consisting of two neural networks—a Generator and a Discriminator—trained jointly through an adversarial process. The Generator produces synthetic data samples intended to be indistinguishable from real data, while the Discriminator attempts to distinguish real data from generated data; the two compete until equilibrium is reached. GANs are widely applied in image generation, style transfer, and data augmentation.
Core Facts
DDPM (Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models) laid the theoretical foundation for diffusion models in 2020.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) were proposed by Ian Goodfellow in 2014.
Compared to GANs, diffusion models are more stable to train, generate greater diversity, and are less prone to mode collapse.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Deepfake technology originally evolved from generative adversarial network (GAN) research, in which a generator and a discriminator are trained through adversarial iteration to produce face images or videos that appear genuine.
The new generation of video generation models models motion trajectories in the temporal dimension, eliminating the most obvious flickering and jitter artifacts of early GANs.
Diffusion models may have advantages over traditional methods such as GARCH and GAN in capturing multimodal and heavy-tailed distributions.
Synthetic data generation uses GANs or diffusion models to produce realistic medical images in order to augment training sets.
ESRGAN introduces generative adversarial networks, making upscaling results perceptually sharper through adversarial training.
Normalizing flows stand in contrast to VAEs (which require variational lower-bound approximation) and GANs (which cannot compute likelihoods)
Generative models such as GANs are essentially minimax problems, which can naturally be modeled as variational inequalities.
GANs and diffusion models have different generation mechanisms and produce model fingerprints in areas such as facial edges, hair texture, and background blur that can be learned by classification models.
GANs or diffusion models can generate photographs of faces that have never existed and produce batches of matching images.
The core idea of GANs is to have the generator and discriminator compete against each other, with the training objective essentially being a minimax game problem.
