Image Generative Models
Image generative models are algorithms or architectures designed to generate new images that
resemble the patterns and characteristics of a given dataset. These models are capable of producing
novel and realistic images that can be used for various purposes, including creative design, data
augmentation, and even synthetic data generation for training machine learning models. Here are some
key types of image generative models:

1.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs):
2.
GANs are among the most popular and powerful image generative models. They
consist of two neural networks: a generator and a discriminator.
The generator takes random noise as input and generates fake images, aiming to
mimic the real images from the dataset.
The discriminator is trained to distinguish between real images from the dataset
and fake images generated by the generator.
Through adversarial training, where the generator tries to fool the discriminator
and the discriminator improves its ability to detect fake images, GANs can
produce highly realistic and diverse images.
3.
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs):
4.
VAEs are probabilistic generative models that combine the concepts of
autoencoders and variational inference.
The encoder network in a VAE maps input images to a distribution in a latent
space, typically a Gaussian distribution.
The decoder network then samples from this latent distribution to generate new
images.
VAEs are known for their ability to generate diverse outputs and to interpolate
smoothly between different data points in the latent space.
5.
Autoencoders:
6.
While autoencoders are primarily used for dimensionality reduction and feature
learning, they can also be used as generative models.
Variants like denoising autoencoders or variational autoencoders can generate
new images by decoding latent representations learned from input data.
7.
PixelCNN and PixelRNN:
8.
PixelCNN and PixelRNN are autoregressive generative models that generate
images pixel by pixel.
They model the conditional probability of each pixel given previous pixels in the
image, capturing the spatial dependencies within the image.
9.
Flow-Based Models:
10.
Flow-based models, such as RealNVP (Real Non-Volume Preserving) and Glow,
model the transformation between a simple latent distribution and the complex
data distribution.
They can generate images by sampling from the latent space and applying the
learned transformations.
