Ian Goodfellow is an American computer scientist who invented generative adversarial networks (GANs). He has been a research scientist at Google Brain and Google DeepMind and directed machine learning at Apple.
We had a previous paper on just the supervised part, where I could take the supervised model and I use that as the art critic part, the discriminator. And then I could essentially copy paste that and turn it upside down and make that the generator.

Somewhere along the way in my education, I ended up going further on the figuring out how minds work thread than the writing fiction thread, and ended up putting most of my creative energy into machine learning research, and then found that I was actually feeling creatively fulfilled by doing the machine learning research and didn't feel as much like writing fiction.
