❁ Some Projects Undertaken

➤ Generating realistic images using GANs and DCGANs

• Trained GANs and Deep Convolutional GANs (DCGANs) on the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST databases.
• Used different hyperparameters to train the models than those used by authors in the original research papers
• Generated new example images for both datasets, along with showing how the performance of DCGAN was better than GAN for the same task
  

➤ Face Aging using Conditional GANs

• Using the Keras framework, built a Face Aging network which takes an image of a person and generates an image of the same person older in age
  

➤ Image to Image Translation using CycleGANs

• Implemented the pix2pix algorithm using CycleGAN on the Keras framework
