Comparative Study of Various

Generative AI Algorithms
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
 Advantages:

 Generates high-quality, realistic images


 Learns complex data distributions without explicitly modeling them
 Widely used in image-to-image translation, deepfake generation

 Disadvantages:

 Unstable training (mode collapse, vanishing gradients)


 Hard to evaluate convergence
 Sensitive to hyperparameters

Activation Function: Leaky ReLU, Sigmoid

Representative Formula: min_G max_D E[log D(x)] + E[log(1 - D(G(z)))]

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)


 Advantages:

 Provides smooth and interpretable latent space


 Theoretically sound with probabilistic interpretation
 Stable training compared to GANs

 Disadvantages:

 Generated outputs are often blurry


 Limited capacity to model complex distributions

Activation Function: ReLU, Sigmoid

Representative Formula: L = E[log p(x|z)] - D_KL(q(z|x) || p(z))

Autoregressive Models (e.g., GPT, PixelRNN)


 Advantages:

 High-quality generation for text and sequential data


 Handles variable-length output
 Disadvantages:

 Slow inference (one token at a time)


 Cannot encode global information easily

Activation Function: GELU, Softmax

Representative Formula: p(x) = ∏ p(x_t | x_{<t})

Diffusion Models (e.g., DALL·E 2, Stable Diffusion)


 Advantages:

 State-of-the-art image quality


 Can generate diverse, realistic samples

 Disadvantages:

 Training is time-consuming and computationally expensive


 Inference takes many steps

Activation Function: Swish, GELU

Representative Formula: L = E[||ε - ε_θ(x_t, t)||²]

Flow-based Models (e.g., RealNVP, Glow)


 Advantages:

 Exact log-likelihood computation


 Invertible and tractable
 Latent space is interpretable

 Disadvantages:

 Struggles with high-dimensional data like images


 Limited flexibility in transformation functions

Activation Function: ReLU, Tanh

Representative Formula: y = x · exp(s(x)) + t(x)
