Ian Goodfellow and his research colleagues at the Université de Montréal published a seminal paper introducing the GAN architecture. By pitting two neural networks against each other in a zero-sum game—a Generator attempting to synthesize realistic fake data and a Discriminator trying to distinguish between real samples and synthetic fakes—Goodfellow unlocked the era of hyper-realistic visual synthesis, completely transforming computer vision.
