Deep Learning

A category of machine learning in which an algorithm learns from labeled training data to make predictions or decisions. In supervised learning, the algorithm is provided with input-output pairs, where the input represents the features or attributes of data, and the output is the desired target or label.

Supervised Learning

A category of machine learning in which algorithms are trained on unlabeled data to discover patterns, structures, or relationships within the data. Unlike supervised learning, unsupervised learning does not rely on predefined output labels. Instead, it seeks to identify inherent structures or groupings in the data.

Unsupervised Learning

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a class of artificial intelligence models used in unsupervised machine learning. They were introduced by Ian Goodfellow and his colleagues in 2014 and have since become a powerful tool in various applications, including image generation, style transfer, text-to-image synthesis, and more. GANs consist of two neural networks, the generator and the discriminator, which are trained together through a competitive process.
