Adaptive generative adversarial network (GAN) for small datasets by Liu, Chang

“…For small data sets, the method of using complex distribution such as Gaussian mixture models is proposed to enhance the simple sampling noise and a new model is created on this base which is called DeLiGAN. The main idea of the DeLiGAN is to increase the modeling capability of the prior distribution rather than increasing the depth of the model and reparametrize potential space into a mixed Gaussian model. …”
