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:Â
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

Learning Feature-to-Feature Translator by Alternating Back-Propagation for Generative Zero-Shot Learning
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a generative model-based ZSL framework, which consists of a single conditional generator that maps class-level semantic features and Gaussian white noise vectors accounting for instance-level latent factors to visual features, and is trained by maximum likelihood estimation.

Missing data imputation with adversarially-trained graph convolutional networks
TL;DR: A more general framework for MDI, leveraging recent work in the field of graph neural networks (GNNs), is proposed in terms of a graph denoising autoencoder, where each edge of the graph encodes the similarity between two patterns.

A critical analysis of self-supervision, or what we can learn from a single image
TL;DR: It is shown that three different and representative methods, BiGAN, RotNet and DeepCluster, can learn the first few layers of a convolutional network from a single image as well as using millions of images and manual labels, provided that strong data augmentation is used.

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.
