Overview of this book

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have the potential to build next-generation models, as they can mimic any distribution of data. Major research and development work is being undertaken in this field since it is one of the rapidly growing areas of machine learning. This book will test unsupervised techniques for training neural networks as you build seven end-to-end projects in the GAN domain. Generative Adversarial Network Projects begins by covering the concepts, tools, and libraries that you will use to build efficient projects. You will also use a variety of datasets for the different projects covered in the book. The level of complexity of the operations required increases with every chapter, helping you get to grips with using GANs. You will cover popular approaches such as 3D-GAN, DCGAN, StackGAN, and CycleGAN, and you’ll gain an understanding of the architecture and functioning of generative models through their practical implementation. By the end of this book, you will be ready to build, train, and optimize your own end-to-end GAN models at work or in your own projects.

Predicting the Future of GANs

If you have completed all of the exercises in the chapters of this book, you have come a long way in your quest to learn and code Generative adversarial networks (GANs) for various real-world applications. GANs have the potential to cause disruption in a number of different industries. Scientists and researchers have developed various GANs that can be used to build commercial applications. Throughout this book, we have explored and implemented some of the most famous GAN architectures.

So, let's recap what we have learned thus far:

We started with a gentle introduction to GANs, and learned various important concepts.
We then explored a 3D-GAN, which is a type of GAN than can generate 3D images. We trained the 3D-GAN to generate 3D models of real-world objects such as an airplane or a table.
In the third chapter, we explored conditional GANs...
