About this course

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) represent a revolutionary approach to generative modeling within the realm of artificial intelligence. Begin this course by discovering GANs, including the basic architecture of a GAN, which involves two neural networks competing in a zero-sum game - the generator and the discriminator. Next, you will explore how to construct and train a GAN using the PyTorch framework to create and train the models. You will define the generator and discriminator separately, and then kick off the model training. Finally, you will focus the deep convolutional GAN, which uses deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) rather than regular neural networks. CNNs are optimized for working with grid-like data, such as images and these can generate better-quality images than GANs built using dense neural networks. In conclusion, this course will provide you with a strong understanding of generative adversarial networks, their architecture, and their usage scenarios.

You've Heard of Generative AI, But What Else Is Out There? 

Jacob Johnson
Nov 9, 2023

In the past year, our understanding of AI has increased as programs like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Midjourney have become ubiquitous tools in our daily lives. These programs all fall under the same category of generative AI, a type of AI that excels at synthesizing new text and media content. But AI can do much more than generate content, and it’s worth exploring and familiarizing yourself with the technology’s full range of possibilities. 

Before we get into the different types of AI, it helps to define what AI is. People often use AI as an umbrella term to describe many different techniques, says Nitya Mandyam, Codecademy Senior Curriculum Developer. (Fun fact: Along with creating a ton of our data science courses and content, Nitya’s also pursuing a postgraduate degree in AI Ethics.)
