Abstract: This workshop will introduce you to the fascinating world of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). GANs is a class of artificial intelligence models that can generate realistic data that mimics the distribution of a given dataset. GANs have become a revolutionary tool in various domains, such as art generation, data augmentation, image synthesis, and many more.
Workshop Outline:
This presentation will provide you with a basic understanding of GANs, their architecture, and how they work.
Prerequisites:
Understanding of Probability Distributions, Deep neural networks
