TLDR
The authors proposed to penalize the norm of the gradient of the critic with respect to its input to improve the training stability of Wasserstein GANs and achieve stable training of a wide variety of GAN architectures with almost no hyperparameter tuning.Abstract:
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are powerful generative models, but suffer from training instability. The recently proposed Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) makes progress toward stable training of GANs, but sometimes can still generate only poor samples or fail to converge. We find that these problems are often due to the use of weight clipping in WGAN to enforce a Lipschitz constraint on the critic, which can lead to undesired behavior. We propose an alternative to clipping weights: penalize the norm of gradient of the critic with respect to its input. Our proposed method performs better than standard WGAN and enables stable training of a wide variety of GAN architectures with almost no hyperparameter tuning, including 101-layer ResNets and language models with continuous generators. We also achieve high quality generations on CIFAR-10 and LSUN bedrooms.read more

Simple Statistical Gradient-Following Algorithms for Connectionist Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: This article presents a general class of associative reinforcement learning algorithms for connectionist networks containing stochastic units that are shown to make weight adjustments in a direction that lies along the gradient of expected reinforcement in both immediate-reinforcement tasks and certain limited forms of delayed-reInforcement tasks, and they do this without explicitly computing gradient estimates.

Categorical Reparameterization with Gumbel-Softmax
Eric Jang,Shixiang Gu,Ben Poole +2 more
TL;DR: Gumbel-Softmax as mentioned in this paper replaces the non-differentiable samples from a categorical distribution with a differentiable sample from a novel Gumbel softmax distribution, which has the essential property that it can be smoothly annealed into the categorical distributions.
