GAN，首先由Ian Goodfellow 提出，随着深度学习的发展，GAN逐渐发展成为了热门的东西，不管是在图像合成，语义图像编辑，风格转换，图像超分辨率和分类等都有着很大的作用。

Abstract

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) provide a way to learn deep representations without extensively annotated training data. They achieve this through deriving backpropagation signals through a competitive process involving a pair of networks. The representations that can belearned by GANs may be used in a variety of applications, including image synthesis, semantic image editing, style transfer, image super-resolution and classification. The aim of this review paper is to provide an overview of GANs for the signal processing community, drawing on familiar analogies and concepts where possible. In addition to identifying different methods for training and constructing GANs, we also point to remaining challenges in their theory and application.

Introduction

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are an emerging technique for both semi-supervised and unsupervised le
