The GAN Zoo

Every week, new GAN papers are coming out and it's hard to keep track of them all, not to mention the incredibly creative ways in which researchers are naming these GANs! So, here's a list of what started as a fun activity compiling all named GANs!

You can also check out the same data in a tabular format with functionality to filter by year or do a quick search by title here.

Contributions are welcome. Add links through pull requests or create an issue to lemme know something I missed or to start a discussion.
