Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs) are a class of machine learning models where two
neural networks—the generator and the discriminator—compete with each other. The generator
creates synthetic data, while the discriminator evaluates it against real data. Through this
adversarial process, GANs learn to produce highly realistic outputs, such as images, audio, or
text.

GAN

1)Blurry Outputs:
2)Slow Generation:
3)LimitedRealism: 4)Strong Distribution Assumptions:
Models like Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) often
produce low-quality or blurry images due to
assumptions about data distributions (e.g., Gaussian
noise).
Autoregressive models generate data sequentially (one
token/pixel at a time), making them slower for tasks like
image or text generation.
Traditional models struggle to capture fine-grained
details, resulting in outputs that may appear less
realistic.
Many models rely on specific assumptions (e.g.,
Gaussian priors), limiting their flexibility and accuracy
in modeling complex real-world data.

MODELS

WHAT IS GAN(GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL
NETWORK)?
A GAN is like a game between two AIs:
• One AI (the Generator) tries to create fake images (or data) that look real.
• The other AI (the Discriminator) tries to tell which images are real and which are
fake.
They compete with each other: the generator keeps improving to fool the
discriminator, and the discriminator gets better at spotting fakes. Over time, the
generator becomes so good that the fake images look real to humans too.

GAN ARCHITECTURE
A GANconsists of two main neural networks:
1.Generator (G)
⚬ Takes in random noise (usually from a normal distribution).
⚬ Tries to create realistic data (e.g., images, audio).
⚬ Learns to "fool" the discriminator.
2.Discriminator (D)
⚬ Takes in both real data and fake data from the generator.
⚬ Tries to distinguish between real and fake.
⚬ Outputs a probability (real or fake).
6.
The process ofgenerating realistic data involves the following steps:
1.Input Noise: Start with a random noise vector (e.g., 100-dimensional).
2.Generate Fake Data: The generator creates a fake data sample using this noise.
3.Discriminator Evaluation: The discriminator classifies both real data and fake
data.
4.Calculate Losses: The discriminator learns to distinguish real from fake, while the
generator aims to deceive it.
5.Backpropagation & Updates: Both networks undergo updates via gradient
descent to enhance their performance.
Repeat: This cycle continues until the generator produces highly realistic data.

medical simulations, and more.
• Their ability to learn and generate data makes them powerful tools across
