<p>The prediction of a natural calamity such as earthquakes has been an area of interest for a long time but accurate results in earthquake forecasting have evaded scientists, even leading some to deem it intrinsically impossible to forecast them accurately. In this paper an attempt to forecast earthquakes and trends using a data of a series of past earthquakes. A type of recurrent neural network called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is used to model the sequence of earthquakes. The trained model is then used to predict the future trend of earthquakes. An ordinary Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) solution for the same problem was done for comparison. The LSTM neural network was found to outperform the FFNN. The R^2 score of the LSTM is better than the FFNN’s by 59%.</p>

Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have its major contribution to the field of Artificial Intelligence. It is becoming so powerful by paving its way in numerous applications of intelligent systems. This is primarily due to its astute prospect of learning and solving complex and high-dimensional problems from the latent space. With the growing demands of GANs, it is necessary to seek its potential and impact in implementations. In short span of time, it has witnessed several variants and extensions in image translation, domain-adaptation and other academic fields. This paper provides an understanding of such imperative GANs mutants and surveys the existing adversarial models which are prominent in their applied field.
