What is this?
A curated catalog of every uniquely-named GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) variant that has appeared in research, listing each one's acronym with its paper title and, when available, a link to the official code.
Is this a software tool or just a reference list?
It is a plain reference list (a markdown README plus a gans.tsv data file), not an installable tool. The same data is also browsable on a companion website as a sortable table.
How is the list organized, and how do I find a specific GAN?
Entries are listed alphabetically by GAN acronym, each paired with the full paper title; scroll the README or use the companion website's search/filter-by-year table to look one up.
Who would find this useful?
Researchers and practitioners in deep learning who want to track the explosion of GAN variants and quickly find the paper behind a given name.
Is there a searchable version besides scrolling the README?
Yes, the author built a companion website with a tabular view that lets you filter entries by year or search by title.
How do I add a new GAN to the list?
Submit a pull request adding an entry to the gans.tsv file in the same format, or open an issue to flag a missing GAN.
Do entries include links to official code?
Many entries append a '(github)' link beside the paper title when the authors released their own implementation, such as DCGAN and CycleGAN.
Why is the repo called 'The GAN Zoo'?
It started as a fun activity to keep track of the incredibly creative, often zoo-like names researchers kept giving new GAN variants.
