What is the simplest pair of GANs one can build? In this video (with code included) we build a pair of ONE-layer GANs which will generate some simple 2x2 images (faces).

You sir are a fantastic teacher. No fancy gimmicks, no catch phrases. Just pure talent. Hoping to collaborate with you!

[@DodaGarcia]

As a beginner in ML a lot of this still went over my head but it's the most accessible video I've found yet on GANs! Thank you so much

[@meghanaiitb]

This channel’s been a gem of a find, always a go to source to refresh seemingly complex algorithms in an absurdly intuitive way. Thank you, Luis.

[@reverse_engineered]

This is one of the best explanations I have ever seen. You manage to cover the goal and the method intuitively, mathematically, and programmatically, and you did it with a concrete example that was simple enough to work out by hand. I also appreciate that you showed how we might code the rules for a solution, and then showed how are would program a machine learning approach to come up with a similar solution. I hope you continue to make more excellent videos like this!

[@carolinagijon967]

Thank you for the clear explanation. Just a couple of comments: a) In 6:35, I think it should be -1.5 (not -0.5) b) When creating the discriminator, if the bias is -1 then the threshold between good/bad images should be lower than 1. Otherwise some of the real faces would be labelled as false…

[@muzzamilmehmood5741]

you are right, having this confusion

[@tianqilong8366]

mad respect to you for explaning neural network so clear in 20 minutes, actually amazing

[@amiralx88]

You really have a special talent to generalize and explain complex concept. You go through every questions that we could think about during your explanations and all of them are answered with such pedagogy.

[@amirnasser7768]

Thank you Luis for the simplified and very clear explanation. Finally, I feel that I can confidently understand the how GANs work. I also really liked the idea of the simple toy examples that you usually start to explain the complicated concepts.

[@denismoura5374]

My fellow data scientists were all about GANs, so I went to learn something about it so I know where I stand in regards of synthetic data. And I'm glad I stumbled upon your video. What a great introduction to the topic! I feel I understand a lot more of what has been said and done about GANs now. Thank you!

[@YWCKOK]

Amazing summary of GANs with the simplest but concise explanations. Thank you!

[@bhuwandutt628]

Love that you broke down of concepts to micro level. Made the understanding of GAN's so simple and yet detailed. Appreciate it.

[@cristianarteaga]

What a great explanation! It's amazing how you teach complex concepts in such an easy way. I have learned a lot from your videos. Mil gracias!

[@acidtears]

You provide by far some of the most descriptive explanations of Neural Network architecture, Machine Learning & statistics out there! Thank you! By the way, I think you forgot to subtract the bias from the result of the second, noisy image at 6:32. It should be -1.5 instead of -0.5 :)

[@neelanjanmanna6292]

The most informative and intuitive explanation of GANs, for a beginner this video is priceless as all other resources aren't so patient with the critical details and steps which doesn't help with the learning process

[@localexpert969]

No words would appreciate this rich explanation. I do like the visuals, mathematics and codes when they come together. Also, Your language was easy and smooth. You made the complex topic so easy to comprehend. Great thanks.

[@terrificopoker2338]

Sr. Luis Serrano, os seus ensinamentos são demasiado preciosos. Por favor, continue fazendo versões em língua espanhola. Muito obrigado.

[@gunamrit]

getting to see this after a heavy day at work is refreshing.. Thank you so much for sharing

Very nice and clear explaination. Everytime I'd need a recap on GANs, I come to this video. Having no code but simple math makes it more meaningful -- comparing the other channel's which includes ML libraries, that places as obstacles on our way to understand!

[@oumarbamba9739]

Your explanations are so simple that anyone can understand !!! Thank so much

Senor Luis Serrano: Ud. ha hecho una excelente demostración pedagógica sobre un tema que otros han convertido en mistificación. Trabajo en la interpretación de Edipo Rey, de Sófocles, y estoy tratando de traducir mis conocimientos sobre la comunicación hecha por un texto literario clásico que "pinta" los rasgos de sus personajes mediante relaciones opuestas, principalmente, análogas a las de los slanted portraits de los "retratos" usados por Ud. Muchos de esos "retratos" se acercan a las imágenes que Ud. llamaría "noisy" hasta el extremo de ser desechables por su policía ... y por mí. Quiero decir que, no solo en esto, sino en otros muchos aspectos, encuentro un acercamiento entre la herramienta matemática por Ud. expuesta y la que yo quiero usar ... pero no soy matemático. A pesar de ello, gracias a mi búsqueda serendípica, he logrado encontrarme con su Serrano.Academy, y seguiré orientándome por sus lecciones, con agradecimiento.

[@AllanMedeiros]

ThankYou Sir, your content is the best, the visuals you put into videos make it so much easier to understand concepts. Keep it going Sir.

[@tompoek]

Luis truly "KISS" (keep it sweetie simple) machine learning and re-ignites my love of scratching math!!! Whenever i find anything hard to crack i just search it in your channel...... Minor typos at Generator's Derivatives 00:19:00 where D weights are missing and the notations of G weights and D weights get mixed up, though everything is correct in your codes. Kind of cool to work on the simple math and detect those typos... Thanks again Luis for democratizing complex knowledge!! =)

[@stevenwang4747]

I didn't expect this video until the end of the video. This is really helpful! Thank you

[@seminkwak]

Absolutely stunning explanation!

[@razterizer]

The best video so far that I have come across. It is very annoying that so many videos that teach ML uses some API (e.g. Keras) to give examples. It teaches how to use the API but it does not teach you how it really works. I wish more used this awesome method to teach concepts in ML.

[@4artificial-love]

BRAVO! BRAVO! You are really the Grand Master Explaining Machine Learning! Let me tell you why? about 2 years ago, when I was looking to learn python I also was looking to learn the process of coding a machine learning python script. By that time, I remember searching watching a lot of videos of machine learning, but things were very fuzzy since most people the people just talk and talk and talk and repeat what others said, but no one explained the real roots of the process of it until I found your Videos explaining the real process in calculating the weights, and until that day my head was able to understand the REAL process of creating the code. And here I am 2 years later, breaking my head with how a GAN really works or how is made, and BANG! I just finished washing about 40 videos and NO ONE BUT YOU EXPLAINED SO WELL, that is why you are the MASTER in explaining Machine Learning! BRAVO! BRAVO! God Bless You, Luis!!!! What could be my life without you!!! Thank you a million times!.

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thank you Alex, that's so nice to hear! It's an honor to be part of your machine learning journey!
