In this tutorial, we’ll cover the basics of GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) step-by-step in TensorFlow. As an example, we’ll use a basic MNIST dataset
Hello everyone! I’ll introduce you to Generative Adversarial Networks in TensorFlow in this tutorial. To simplify everything, we will use the MNIST digits dataset to generate new digits! First, it is better to start with DCGAN instead of simple GAN. You’ll get the results you want faster. The only difference is that DCGAN uses deep Neural Networks instead of simple ones. The Generative Adversarial Networks' goal is to generate new data similar to the training data.
The diagram below illustrates how the two models interact within the GAN architecture.
The dataset used in this tutorial is MNIST — a collection of 28×28… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
