Field notes for generative engineering

GAN API Lab.

Ten practical guides to the decisions behind GAN APIs. Explore architectures, evaluate the evidence, and keep model capabilities in context.

Image Translation and Semantic Layouts: Preserve What Matters

Compare image-to-image and layout-conditioned workflows, with explicit class maps, alignment rules, and preservation tests.

Super Resolution: Better-Looking Is Not Always More Faithful

Evaluate upscaling with honest baselines, realistic inputs, artifact review, and a clear distinction between inferred and observed detail.

GANs for Fraud Detection: An Experiment Without Data Leakage

Design a defensive augmentation experiment with time-aware splits, fair baselines, and thresholds tied to a real review workflow.

Evaluating CTGAN: More Than a Realistic-Looking Table

Check validity, relationships, downstream utility, and disclosure risk before accepting a synthetic dataset.
