These are the list of papers concepts you should learn to become a PRO in GAN Research. We will see one as a step by step improvment in generation quality, stabilized training etc.
- The first paper on GAN by IAN GoodFellow and team. There are many blogs on how a GAN works based on this paper. A simple search on google should give u many results. Asking an LLM is far more better.
- GANs more susceptible to mode-collapse, vanishing gradients, so people moved away from simple BCE loss to Earth mover distance and some kind of regalurization to avoid these. Read WGAN and WGAN-GP papers to understand this again.
- Next up is ProGAN. this is the first paper to my knowledge which basically made GANs possible to generate high resolution images. though progressive training is out of fashion, I still consider one should read about this [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.10196v3]. Their another key contribution is
