GAN

A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is a generative AI architecture consisting of two neural networks: a Generator (which creates fake data) and a Discriminator (which evaluates if the data is real or fake). The networks train in competition, forcing the generator to produce high-fidelity data.

Inference

Inference is the process of using a trained AI model to make predictions or generate text based on new inputs. During inference, data flows forward through the neural network to produce an output, without modifying the model's weights.
