What Hacker News says
12 sourcesThe CycleGAN datasets [1] all have less than 10k images. The two largest have 10,345 images and 5,129 images, the rest (like the famous horses2zebras) have less than 3k.

In Unsupervised Machine Translation Using Monolingual Corpora Only [pdf]Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)
GAN is a type of Deep Learning Network which can generate data after training.
Applications
- Text to image synthesis (Scripts to Movie ?) (https://github.com/reedscot/icml2016)
- Generation of Game Environments
- Image to Image conversion (https://github.com/junyanz/CycleGAN)
- 2d to 3d conversion
I think in future we will have highly creative deep learning systems, which will make ar/vr/movie/game creation faster and cheaper.

The previous title, which was based on the repo description of the previous link, was much more informative to me.
