M.S. Paper Title: Analysis of Generative Adversarial Models

Abstract:
We study Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and their applications
to various tasks as well as the creation of a measure to analyze their
performance. Regarding the study of GANs, we create our own novel
network that can be used for interpretability, image generation, and
augmenting existing datasets via semi-supervision. Last, we create a
new measure to score sets of images as opposed to scoring individual
images. The measure uses the relative divergence between two pairs of
distributions, namely a training set and test set, and a training set
and generated set. This measure has several nice properties: tracks
image quality, is unbiased, detects missing modes, and captures
generalization of the generative model.

Steven's advisor is Prof. Risi Kondor
