What People say About us

FAQs

This course primarily uses Python, leveraging popular deep learning libraries like TensorFlow and PyTorch for building and training GAN models.

A basic understanding of neural networks and Python programming is helpful, but the course includes foundational explanations for beginners in deep learning.

Yes! You will gain practical experience building and training your own GANs and understanding how to troubleshoot common issues.

A GAN, or Generative Adversarial Network, is a type of neural network that learns to create data that mimics real-world data through a game between two networks—a generator and a discriminator.

The core principle of GANs is adversarial training: one network generates data while the other evaluates it, pushing both networks to improve until the generator produces highly realistic outputs.

The generator’s main job is to produce fake data that looks as realistic as possible, with the goal of fooling the discriminator into thinking it’s real.
