### What is the meaning of $V(D,G)$ in the GAN objective function?

To understand this equation first you need to understand the context in which it is first introduced. We have two neural networks (i.e. $D$ and $G$) that are playing a minimax game. This means that ...

### Is plain autoencoder a generative model?

An autoencoder is not considered a generative model, because it only reconstructs the given input. You could use the decoder like a generative model by putting in different vectors. However, the ...

### Why is the variational auto-encoder's output blurred, while GANs output is crisp and has sharp edges?

The key is: VAE usually use a small latent dimension, the information of input is so hard to pass through this bottleneck, meanwhile it tries to minimize the loss with the batch of input data, you ...

### Other deep learning image generation techniques besides GANs?

There are several generative models that have been proposed before or roughly at the same time of the GAN (2014). For example, the deep Boltzman machine (2009), deep generative stochastic network (...

### How can AI be used to more reliably analyze and plan around the tie between climate and emissions?

Can AI provide a more reliable analysis of the gross effects of carbon emissions on extinctions of species ice-cap melting, and other effects? Yes. The work of Judea Pearl and others over the last 20 ...
