Quasi-Analytical Least-Squares Generative Adversarial Networks: Further 1-D Results and Extension to Two Data Dimensions by Graham W. Pulford

“…Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are notoriously difficult to analyse, necessitating empirical studies in high dimensional spaces that suffer from stochastic sampling noise. Quasi-analytical, low-dimensional GANs can be developed in various special cases to elucidate aspects of GAN training in a manageable, precise setting where variables of interest can be easily visualised. …”
