Exponential growth curve
An exponential growth curve represents a quantity that increases by a constant multiplicative factor over equal increments of its input.
Learn Generative AI with PyTorch
A curve whose values increase at an accelerating rate according to an exponential relationship.
- How it is used
- Uses the curve as a target distribution for training GANs to generate synthetic data pairs.
- How deep it goes
- Defines the relation, constructs and plots training data, and connects it to GAN training without deriving exponential mathematics.
- Examples
- Uses an 8% savings account, y = 1.08^x, 2,048 PyTorch samples, Matplotlib plots, and a sine-curve modification exercise.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch by generating, batching, plotting, and modeling exponential-curve data with a GAN.
