Summary


In this chapter, we discussed GANs. A GAN typically consists of two networks; one is trained to forge synthetic data that looks authentic, and the second is trained to discriminate authentic data against forged data. The two networks continuously compete, and in doing so, they keep improving each other. We reviewed an open source code, learning to forge MNIST and CIFAR-10 images that look authentic. In addition, we discussed WaveNet, a deep generative network proposed by Google DeepMind for teaching computers how to reproduce human voices and musical instruments with impressive quality. WaveNet directly generates raw audio with a parametric text-to-speech approach based on dilated convolutional networks. Dilated convolutional networks are a special kind of ConvNets where convolution filters have holes, allowing the receptive field to grow exponentially in depth and therefore efficiently cover thousands of audio time-steps. DeepMind showed how it is possible to use WaveNet to synthesize...
