My GAN co-author Sherjil Ozair has written about some memories of 2012-2014 in the context of GANs winning one of this year's test of time awards, worth a read for the nostalgia if you were around back then, or for learning what it was like if you weren't
Very happy to hear that GANs are getting the test of time award at NeurIPS 2024.
The NeurIPS test of time awards are given to papers which have stood the test of the time for a decade.
I took some time to reminisce how GANs came about and how AI has evolve in the last decade.
