In this article, we introduce a new mode for training Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Rather than minimizing the distance of evidence distribution p~(x)\tilde{p}(x) and the generative distribution q(x)q(x), we minimize the distance of p~(xr)q(xf)\tilde{p}(x_r)q(x_f) and p~(xf)q(xr)\tilde{p}(x_f)q(x_r). This adversarial pattern can be…
