Book Description

GANs in Action teaches you to build and train your own Generative Adversarial Networks. You’ll start by creating simple generator and discriminator networks that are the foundation of GAN architecture. Then, following numerous hands-on examples, you’ll train GANs to generate high-resolution images, image-to-image translation, and targeted data generation. Along the way, you’ll find pro tips for making your system smart, effective, and fast.
