Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) WGAN is a generative model that learns by minimizing the Wasserstein distance between the generator distribution and the real-data distribution, evaluated via the Monge-Kantorovich dual formulation, a maximization problem with respect to the critic. Since the critic is typically implemented as a neural network, its complexity may affect accuracy of evaluated Wasserstein distances, and consequently, performance of WGAN. In this paper, we exper- imentally study the relationship between complexity of the critic and performance of WGAN by using the empirical Wasserstein distance as well as other GAN evaluation metrics.
