6 Motivation Generative Adversarial Networks, Variational Autoencoders, and other unsupervised representation learning/generative modelling techniques ROCK! Dozens of papers being submitted, discussed, published,... Among papers submitted to ICLR have titles matching Generative Adversarial*. NIPS2016 Tutorial on GANs. GAN Workshop at NIPS2016 was the second-largest. That s all very exciting. However: GANs are very hard to train. The field is, apparently, in its trials-and-errors phase. People try all kinds of heuristic hacks. Sometimes they work, sometimes not... Very few papers manage to go beyond heuristics and provide a deeper conceptual understanding of what s going on.

P model P At least, this is one way to explain what they are doing. 2.

Back to GANs Now we use GANs to train P T in *), which results in AdaGAN.

11 f-gan: Adversarial training for f-divergence minimization For any probability distributions P and Q, f-divergence is ) dq D f Q P ) := f dp x) dp x), where f : 0, ) R is convex and satisfies f1) = 0. Properties of f-divergence: 1. D f P Q) 0 and D f P Q) = 0 when P = Q; 2. D f P Q) = D f Q P ) for f x) := xf1/x); 3. D f P Q) is symmetric when fx) = xf1/x) for all x; 4. D f P Q) = D g P Q) for any gx) = fx) + Cx 1); 5. Taking f 0 x) := fx) x 1)f 1) is a good choice. It is nonnegative, nonincreasing on 0, 1], and nondecreasing on [1, ).

12 f-gan: Adversarial training for f-divergence minimization For any probability distributions P and Q, f-divergence is ) dq D f Q P ) := f dp x) dp x), where f : 0, ) R is convex and satisfies f1) = 0. Examples of f-divergences: 1. Kullback-Leibler divergence for fx) = x log x; 2. Reverse Kullback-Leibler divergence for fx) = log x; 3. Total Variation distance for fx) = x 1 ; 4. Jensen-Shannon divergence for fx) = x + 1) log x x log x: JSP Q) = KL P P + Q ) + KL Q P + Q ). 2 2

For any probability distributions P and Q over X, f-divergence is ) dq D f Q P ) := f dp x) dp x). Variational representation: a very neat result, saying that D f Q P ) = [ sup E X Q [gx)] E Y P f gy ) )], g : X domf ) where f x) := sup u x u fu) is a convex conjugate of f. D f can be computed by solving an optimization problem! The f-divergence minimization can be now written as: inf D f Q P ) inf P P sup [ E X Q [gx)] E Y P f gy ) )]. g :...

Take P to be a distribution of G θ Z), where Z P Z is a latent noise and G θ is a deep net; 2. JS divergence corresponds to fx) = x + 1) log x x log x and f t) = log 2 e t) and thus domain of f is, log 2); 3. Take g = g f D ω, where g f v) = log 2 log1 + e v ) and D ω is a deep net check that gx) < log 2 for all x). Then up to additive 2 log 2 term we get: inf G θ sup D ω E X Q log e + E DωX) Z P Z log 1 ) 1 ) 1 + e Dω G θ Z) Compare to the original GAN objective Goodfellow et al., NIPS2014) inf G θ sup E X Pd [log D ω X)] + E Z PZ [log 1 D ω G θ Z)) ) ].

Estimate E X Q [gx)] using an i.i.d. sample data) X 1,..., X N Q: E X Q [gx)] 1 N N gx i ); i=1 2. Often we don t know the analytical form of P, but can only sample from P. No problems! Sample i.i.d. Y 1,..., Y M P and write: E Y P [ f gy ) )] 1 M M f gy j ) ). j=1 This results in implicit generative modelling: using complex model distributions, which are analytically intractable, but easy to sample.

18 f-gan: Adversarial training for f-divergence minimization Note that there is still a difference between doing GAN: inf G θ sup E X Pd [log D ω X)] + E Z PZ [log 1 D ω G θ Z)) ) ] D ω and minimizing JSP data, P model ): because inf P model [ )] sup E X Pdata [gx)] E Y Pmodel f JS gy ), g : We replaced expectations with sample averages. Uniform lows of large numbers may not apply, as our function classes are huge; 2. Instead of taking supremum over all possible witness functions g we optimize over restricted class of DNNs which is still huge); 3. In practice we never optimize g/d ω to the end. This leads to vanishing gradients and other bad things.

20 Minimizing f-divergences with mixtures of distributions Assumption: Let s assume we know more or less how to solve min D f Q P ) Q G for any f and any P, given we have an i.i.d. sample from P. New problem: Now we want to approximate an unknown P d in D f using a mixture model of the form Greedy strategy: P T model := T α i P i. i=1 1. Train P 1 to minimize D f P 1 P d ), set α 1 = 1, and get P 1 model = P 1; 2. Assume we trained P 1,..., P t with weights α 1,..., α t. We are going to train one more component Q, choose weight β and update P t+1 model = t 1 β)α i P i + βq. i=1

21 Minimizing f-divergences with mixtures of distributions 1. Train P 1 to minimize D f P 1 P d ), set α 1 = 1, and get P 1 model = P 1; 2. Assume we trained P 1,..., P t with weights α 1,..., α t. We are going to train one more component Q, choose weight β and update P t+1 model = t 1 β)α i P i + βq. i=1 The goal: we want to choose β [0, 1] and Q greedily, so as to minimize where we denoted P g := P t model. D f 1 β)p g + βq P d ), A modest goal: find β [0, 1] and Q, such that, for c < 1: D f 1 β)p g + βq P d ) c D f P g P d ). Inefficient in practice: as t we expect β 0. Only β fraction of points gets sampled from Q gets harder and harder to tune Q.

Only β fraction of points gets sampled from Q gets harder and harder to tune Q. Workaround: instead optimize an upper bound on *), which contains a term D f Q, Q 0 ) for some Q 0 : Lemma Given P d, P g, and β [0, 1], for any Q and any R with β dr dp d ) βdq R) + 1 β)d f P g P ) d βr. 1 β If furthermore D f is a Hilbertian metric, then, for any R, we have ) βd f Q R) + D f 1 β)p g + βr P d ). JS-divergence, TV, Hellinger, and others are Hilbertian metrics.

The optimal R is given in the next result: Theorem Given P d, P g, and β 0, 1], the solution to min D f 1 β)p g + βr P d ), R P where P is a class of all probability distributions, has the density dr βx) = 1 β λ dp d x) 1 β)dp g x)) + for some unique λ satisfying dr β = 1. Also, λ = 1 if and only if P d 1 β)dp g > dp d ) = 0, which is equivalent to βdq β = dp d 1 β)dp g.

Both do not depend on f! λ and λ are implicitly defined via fixed-point equations. drβ x) is also a solution to the original problem, that is of min D f 1 β)p g + βq P d ). Q R We see that setting β = 1 is the best possible choice in theory. So we ll have to use various heuristics, including uniform, constant,...

28 Minimizing f-divergences with mixtures of distributions Recipe: choose R to minimize the right-most terms in the surrogate upper bounds and then minimize the first term D f Q R ). We found optimal R distributions. Let s now assume we are super powerful and managed to find Q with D f Q R ) = 0. In other words, we are going to update our model: with Q either R β or R β.

29 Minimizing f-divergences with mixtures of distributions Other highlights: More careful convergence analysis. In particular we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the iterative process to converge in a finite number of steps: there exists M > 0 such that P d 1 β)dp 1 > MdP d ) = 0. In other words, P 1 P d In practice we don t attain D f Q R ) = 0. We prove that given D f Q R β) γd d P g P d ) or D f Q R β ) γd dp g P d ) we achieve D f 1 β)p g + βq P d ) c D f P g P d ) with c = cγ, β) < 1. This is kind of similar to weak learnability in AdaBoost.

37 Conclusions Pros: It seems that AdaGAN is solving the missing modes problem; AdaGAN is compatible with any implementation of GAN and more generally with any other implicit generative modelling techniques; Still easy to sample from; Easy to implement and great freedom with heuristics; Theoretically grounded! Cons: We loose the nice manifold structure in the latent space; Increased computational complexity; Individual GANs are still very unstable.
