Category: Model/Unsupervised Learning
Generative Adversarial Nets
- a new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process —a minimax two-player game
- simultaneously train two models:
- a generative model G that captures the data distribution
- a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G.
- training procedure for G is to maximize the probability of D making a mistake.
- the entire system can be trained with backpropagation
Advantage
- Markov chains are never needed, only backprop is used to obtain gradients, no inference is needed during learning, and a wide variety of functions can be…
