Kailash Ahirwar

Kailash Ahirwar is a machine learning and deep learning enthusiast. He has worked in many areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ranging from natural language processing and computer vision to generative modeling using GANs. He is a co-founder and CTO of Mate Labs. He uses GANs to build different models, such as turning paintings into photos and controlling deep image synthesis with texture patches. He is super optimistic about AGI and believes that AI is going to be the workhorse of human evolution.

Practical applications of DCGAN

DCGANs can be customized for different use cases. The various practical applications of DCGANs include the following:

  • The generation of anime characters: Currently, animators manually draw characters with computer software and sometimes on paper as well. This is a manual process that usually takes a lot of time. With DCGANs, new anime characters can be generated in much less time, hence improving the creative process.
  • The augmentation of datasets: If you want to train a supervised machine learning model, to train a good model, you would require a large dataset. DCGANs can help by augmenting the existing dataset, therefore increasing the size of the dataset required for supervised model training.

  • The generation of MNIST characters: The MNIST dataset contains 60,000 images of handwritten digits. To train a complex supervised learning model, the...
