gan

GAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network. It's a type of machine learning that allows a computer to learn by examples. It works by having two parts, the generator and the discriminator. The generator takes in data and tries to recreate it in a new way. The discriminator then looks at the recreated data and tries to figure out if it's real data or if it's made up by the generator. The generator and discriminator both learn from each other and try to improve their performance until eventually, the generator can make new data that looks like original data and the discriminator can't tell the difference. GANs can be used for a lot of things, like creating new images based on existing images, creating new music, or even writing computer programs.
