Abstract: 

GANs are one of the most useful DL techniques in recent years, particularly for the tasks of data synthesis. Estimating an intrinsic data distribution from a given dataset and generating newer data that look like one from the given dataset is one of the significant successes of GANs. In this talk, I will present the fundamental principle behind the GANs, a mathematical formulation of it, how to build GANs using TensorFlow APIs, and how to train them to generate new images. I will also cover some of the extended GANs architecture and provide a future roadmap for beginners and advanced users of the GANs framework. This talk will have two parts - a theory class followed by a half-day of tutorials where I will show baseline code to build GANs models and train them; it will be followed by inference of image synthesis.
