A Simple Introduction to Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)

What is Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)? Generative Adversarial Network, commonly known as GAN, is a machine learning framework widely used in image generation. It corresponds to a minimax two-player game. GAN consists of two neural networks, which are known as generator and discriminator. GAN belongs to unsupervised learning. The generator receives the input data and …

Optimization Inspired by Biological Genome Evolution

Introduction to Genome Evolution In biology, a genome refers to the complete set of genetic material or DNA present in a species. This genetic material contains all the instructions necessary for the development, functioning, and reproduction of the species. Over time, genome evolution happens to enable an organism to adapt to changing environments and to …

Redefining Computer-Aided Tuning (CAT) with Reinforcement Learning

Designing a high-performance microwave filter can be a daunting task for RF engineers. The process involves analyzing stringent requirements such as center frequency, bandwidth, return loss, insertion loss, and more, which can become increasingly complex with higher-order filters or complex designs. The Problem During the designing phase, a RF engineer spent most of the time …
