• Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) are trained to generate sample images of interest distribution. To this end, generator network of GAN learns implicit distribution of real data set from the classification with candidate generated samples. Recently, various GANs have suggested novel ideas for stable optimizing of its networks. However, in real implementation, sometimes they still represent a only narrow part of true distribution or fail to converge. We assume this ill posed problem comes from poor gradient from objective function of discriminator, which easily trap the generator in a bad situation. To address this problem, we propose a mode penalty GAN combined with pre-trained auto encoder for explicit representation of generated and real data samples in the encoded space. In this space, we make a generator manifold to follow a real manifold by finding entire modes of target distribution. In addition, penalty for uncovered modes of target distribution is given to the generator which encourages it to find overall target distribution. We demonstrate that applying the proposed method to GANs helps generator's optimization becoming more stable and having faster convergence through experimental evaluations.

  We propose a unified approach to analyzing the generator optimization through variational approach. In $f$-divergence-minimizing GANs, we show that the optimal generator is the one that matches the score of its output distribution with that of the data distribution. We propose novel alternatives to $f$-GAN and IPM-GAN training based on score and flow matching, and discriminator-guided Langevin sampling.

  Mode collapse is a significant unsolved issue of generative adversarial networks. We propose a global distribution fitting (GDF) method with a penalty term to confine the generated data distribution. We also propose a local distribution fitting (LDF) method to deal with the circumstance when the overall real data is unreachable.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are susceptible to bias, learned from either the unbalanced data, or through mode collapse. We argue that this bias is responsible not only for fairness concerns, but that it plays a key role in the collapse of latent-traversal editing methods when deviating away from the distribution's core.

  generative adversarial networks (GANs) still suffer from mode collapse. We analyze and seek to regularize this issue with an independent and identically distributed (IID) sampling perspective. We propose a new loss to encourage the closeness between inverse samples of real data and the Gaussian source in latent space to regularize the generation to be IID from the target distribution.

  Building on the success of deep learning, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) provide a modern approach to learn a probability distribution from observed samples. GANs often suffer from the mode collapse issue where the generator fails to capture all existing modes of the input distribution. We take an information-theoretic approach and maximize a variational lower bound on the entropy of the generated samples to increase their diversity.

  Generative Adrial Networks (GANs) are widely used models to learn complex real-world distributions.

We establish a theoretical results towards understanding this generator-discriminator training process.
