Nvidia software engineers have published a paper (PDF) discussing a new AI for generating high resolution portrait images of fake people. The paper?s major contribution is of a new training methodology for generative adversarial networks (GANs).

A typical GAN is said to consist of a generator and discriminator (aka critic). Thus a sample image is produced by the AI and the critical function subsequently discards images that don?t fit the quality required. Once the system is trained then the discriminator isn?t required anymore.
