Title: Linking Generative Adversarial Learning and Binary Classification,
Abstract: In this note, we point out a basic link between generative adversarial (GA)
training and binary classification -- any powerful discriminator essentially
computes an (f-)divergence between real and generated samples. The result,
repeatedly re-derived in decision theory, has implications for GA Networks
(GANs), providing an alternative perspective on training f-GANs by designing
the discriminator loss function.
