Utilizing GANs to generate synthetic data

In this section, we will highlight some interesting applications of GANs.

GANs have enormous applications because they can be used for data augmentation, style transfer, privacy protection, and generating photo-realistic images.

Let’s discuss some of these applications:

• Generating images: GANs can be utilized to generate photorealistic images. For instance, GANs were utilized to generate handwritten digits, human faces, animals, objects, and scenes. Please check this paper for more details: Progressive Growing of GANs for Improved Quality, Stability, and Variation (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.10196.pdf).
• Generating cartoon and anime characters: GANs can be trained to generate appealing and diverse characters. This can be utilized to assess artists, game developers, and designers with anime characters.
