As one of standard approaches to train deep neural networks, dropout has been applied to regularize large models to avoid overfitting, and the improvement in performance by dropout has been explained as avoiding co-adaptation between nodes. However, when correlations between nodes are compared after training the networ…

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can be interpreted as an adversarial game between two players, a discriminator D and a generator G, in which D learns to classify real from fake data and G learns to generate realistic data by "fooling" D into thinking that fake data is actually real data. Currently, a dominating …
