Who Else Wants to Know the Mystery Behind GANs?
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are one of the newer machine learning algorithms that data scientists are tapping into. When I first heard it, I wondered how can networks be adversarial? I envisioned networks with swords drawn going at it. Close… but I can assure you that... Read more
Music to My Mechanical Ears: Exploring the Rimworld of Sound Space: Episode 1
Music has been a way for us to express ourselves for quite a while now. And as we evolve, our society evolves, our technology evolves, and also, our instruments evolve. Last century we started using electronics to create music and this has provided us with so... Read more
The Latest Deepfakes Turn Old Portraits Into Moving Images
The lines separating deepfakes from real people are becoming increasingly blurry. MyHeritage, a genealogy platform,  released  Deep Nostalgia™, a new feature that uses GANs to animate faces in still photos. Licensed from an Israeli Deep Learning company, D-ID, it can generate a facial video from a single... Read more
NVIDIA Makes Training GANs Easier with Fewer Images
NVIDIA is closing out 2020 on a strong note with a new method for training GANs that requires significantly less data than current methods. Instead of using hundreds of thousands of images to train efficient GANs with high rates of accuracy, their new technique, adaptive discriminator... Read more
Generating Images with Just Noise Using GANs
GAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network, which is essentially applying game theory and putting a couple of artificial neural networks to compete with each other while they are trained at the same time. One network tries to generate the image and the other tries to detect... Read more
Generative Adversarial Networks for Finance
This posting discusses generative adversarial network for finance. Financial instruments like options and futures have been around for more than two centuries. Although they became quite notorious during the 2008 stock market turmoil, they serve a real economic purpose for companies around the world. [Related article:... Read more
Using GANs to Generate Images of Race Cars
Have you ever stood in a packed crowd, seen heatwaves rippling off the pavement and felt the roar of cars flying past you? No? I’m guessing that the overlap of ODSC blog readers and car racing fans might be small. However, those roaring cars do present... Read more
How AI is Changing Creativity, and How You Can Use it Too
The limits and expectations of creativity are always being expanded upon: new tools are being created, new techniques discovered, new artists entering the scene. Now more than ever, AI is being considered in all three of those aspects. It begs the question, how is AI changing... Read more
FSGAN: Subject Agnostic Face Swapping and Reenactment
Generative adversarial networks are getting a lot of press as the general public raises their fears on the forgery techniques, but the data science community has been tracking their development, precision, benefits, and threats for years. Recently though, the team of Yuval Nirkin, Yosi Keller (both... Read more
Latest Developments in GANs
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) is a compelling technology that’s widely considered one of the most interesting developments in AI and deep learning in the past decade. This article provides an overview of the ODSC West 2018 talk “Latest Developments in GANs,” presented by Seth Weidman of... Read more
