Abstract: 

Originally proposed by Goodfellow et al. the work titled Generative Adversarial Networks took the world by a storm. GANs have been described as one of the most exciting ideas in Deep Learning by Yann LeCun. This talk will introduce you to the world of Generative Models through the GAN lens. We will discuss how a simple game of adversaries leads to such powerful models. We will cover the evolution and advancement in the architecture of GANs along with some exciting use-cases. Towards the end we will go through a quick hands-on to generate images with GANs ourselves.

Session Outline:
- Machine Learning Landscape

- Exciting Use-cases
- Generate Images : Hands-on

Background Knowledge:
