Improved Training of Wasserstein GANs
TL;DR: This work proposes an alternative to clipping weights: penalize the norm of gradient of the critic with respect to its input, which performs better than standard WGAN and enables stable training of a wide variety of GAN architectures with almost no hyperparameter tuning.

Reducing Overfitting in Deep Networks by Decorrelating Representations
TL;DR: DeCov as mentioned in this paper encourages diverse or non-redundant representations in deep neural networks by minimizing the cross-covariance of hidden activations, which leads to significantly reduced overfitting and better generalization.
