Problem Restatement
This part mainly introduces the principle and realization method of GAN (Generative Adversarial Nets), GAN is proposed by lan.J et al. In 2014, they propose a new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which simultaneously train two models: a generative model G that captures the data distribution, and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G. The training procedure for G is to maximize the probability of D making a mistake. This framework corresponds to a minimax two-player game. In the space of arbitrary functions G and D, a unique solution exists, with G recovering the training data distribution and D equal to 1/2 everywhere. In the case where G and D are defined by multilayer perceptron’s, the entire system can be trained with backpropagation. There is no need for any Markov chains or unrolled approximate inference net-works during either training or generation of samples[1].
