สรุป	Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) is a generative adversarial network variant introduced by Arjovsky, Chintala, and Bottou in 2017 that replaces the Jensen-Shannon divergence used in the original GAN with the Wasserstein-1 (Earth Mover) distance. This substitution provides a theoretically grounded training objective that yields more stable optimization and a loss value that correlates meaningfully with generated sample quality, addressing the notorious mode collapse and vanishing gradient problems of standard GANs.	CycleGAN, introduced by Zhu et al. at ICCV 2017, learns to translate images between two visual domains without requiring paired training examples. It trains two generators and two discriminators simultaneously, enforcing a cycle-consistency constraint so that an image translated from domain X to Y and back again recovers the original. This makes it applicable whenever large aligned datasets are unavailable, such as converting photographs to artwork styles, turning summer landscapes into winter scenes, or mapping satellite imagery to map tiles.	A diffusion model is a generative deep-learning method, introduced by Ho, Jain and Abbeel in 2020 (DDPM), that learns to produce high-quality images, audio and molecular structures by reversing a step-by-step noising process. It has largely displaced GANs as the current state of the art in generative modelling.
