PointGAN: A breakdown of the simplest GAN possible

How hard can it be to teach a machine to generate a single point

Introduction

This article describes the creation of a Generator — Discriminator pair, that would be consistent and robust (more or less). What’s more, I aimed to get a specific Discriminator function, which would ensure the Generator’s consistent learning (see plot below).

The task for the simplest GAN would be to generate a point. A single number, say “1.” The Generator …
