A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) pits two networks against each other: a Generator that turns noise into fake data, and a Discriminator that learns to tell fake from real. Invented by Ian Goodfellow in 2014, GANs launched the field of generative AI for visual data.

Goal: Generate realistic 4-D data from 2-D noise.

Setup

Step 1 of 9: Given

  • 4 noise vectors in 2D (N)

  • 4 real data vectors in 4D (X)

Generator

Step 2 of 9: First Layer

  • Multiply the noise vectors with weights and biases to obtain new feature vectors


Step 3 of 9: ReLU

  • Apply the ReLU activation function, which has the effect of suppressing negative values. In this exercise, -1 and -2 are crossed out and set to 0.
