About the Course

In this course, you will: - Explore the applications of GANs and examine them wrt data augmentation, privacy, and anonymity - Leverage the image-to-image translation framework and identify applications to modalities beyond images - Implement Pix2Pix, a paired image-to-image translation GAN, to adapt satellite images into map routes (and vice versa) - Compare paired image-to-image translation to unpaired image-to-image translation and identify how their key difference necessitates different GAN architectures - Implement CycleGAN, an unpaired image-to-image translation model, to adapt horses to zebras (and vice versa) with two GANs in one The DeepLearning.AI Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) Specialization provides an exciting introduction to image generation with GANs, charting a path from foundational concepts to advanced techniques through an easy-to-understand approach. It also covers social implications, including bias in ML and the ways to detect it, privacy preservation, and more. Build a comprehensive knowledge base and gain hands-on experience in GANs. Train your own model using PyTorch, use it to create images, and evaluate a variety of advanced GANs. This Specialization provides an accessible pathway for all levels of learners looking to break into the GANs space or apply GANs to their own projects, even without prior familiarity with advanced math and machine learning research....

I really liked the exposure to preparing various loss functions in paired and non-paired GANs, introduction to other applications, and many great changes to improve the quality of the networks!

GANs are awesome, solving many real-world problems. Especially unsupervised things are cool. Instructors are great and to the point regarding theoretical and practical aspects. Thankyou!

I would have preferred the assignments spent more time on the training loop, and talking about what's going on with the cost function.

One of the interesting things about GANs is that your cost function is different for different parts of the network. This is really really important to the workings of a GAN, but we never touched the training loop after the first assignment in course 1. I feel like we should have spent more time nailing that training loop down.

Also, I don't think any of the classes mentioned the importance of the fact that the cost function is learned, rather than explicit. That's huge! You can do that for any network, not just generative networks, and it seems applicable to all kinds of less-supervised ML. It seems a waste that they didn't draw more attention to that.

Overall it was good but the final assignments were very confusing in my opinion because there are so many things going on there I still don't understand. I still think there is a lot to supplement, hours of exploration and reading many research papers to meet my expectations so I can create own generative art. Maybe more similar assignments with more detailed explanations (and more tasks) would make me understand more even at the cost of the specialization duration.

It was good, I think it covered a lot of material and get you fast to a point where you can start attacking some real problems with this technology, however I do not fully like some of the exercises that get you stuck with some silly things.

The course material is of very good quality. On the other hand, most of the coding exercises are limited to implementation of the loss functions. They are not teaching the students how to design the GAN architectures yourself.

Very good course, assignment could be made more longer than what is currently here. Should also include a project at the end to implement GAN

Great course by a great instructor and great team behind! Learned sooooo damn much. Can't wait to go out and apply some of this stuff!

The assignments can go more in depth, but the content was great!

For English subtitles, there are many typos and sync of video and subtitles don’t match in some parts. Lecturer speaks too fast. But the content was very good, specifically coding projects.

The programming assignments are too easy. Although the linked papers were useful I felt the optional notebooks should have been compulsory or we should have had to do more ourselves.

Too much repetition. More technical aspects could have been covered, given this is third course.

The Instructor did a great job on scripts and PPTs. However, Instead of teaching you GANs, she reads the scripts in a super fast speed. It is good that if you are reporting or interviewing since your audiences are professors or specialists who are already very familiar with GANs. But I think most of the audiences here know little about GANs. I prefer Andrew Ng's teaching style which guides the audiences and gives them time to think and learn.

Exercises were so bad. They are very easy, and they are ambiguous a little bit. It seems the creators got tired at the end and they did a bad job. However, I learned a lot and I am thankful, but It could be much better!

The instructor did not explain things very deeply! I was expecting more technical lectures on how to deep dive into the topic rather than just providing high level overview of the GANs variants. Some optional notebooks definitely worth to be part of the lectures for more motivations, such as pix2pixHD probably as one lecture. The specialization could potentially divided into several more courses with more detailed and technical lectures. The workflow was was not easy to follow as in the level of 2nd and 3rd courses are extremely higher than course 1 which was mainly supposed to provided overview of the GAN and inspire a potential learner to continue further.

Rushes through complicated topics without really explaining them
