For image tasks, the GAN generator is typically a deconvolutional neural network and the discriminator is typically a convolutional neural network

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• IN gan-architectural-asymmetry-mirrors-game-theory — GAN architectural asymmetry (deconvolutional generator vs convolutional discriminator in image tasks) parallels its game-theoretic asymmetry — the discriminator has a closed-form optimal solution while the generator does not, and these two asymmetries coexist in the minimax game structure, though the antecedents do not establish that the architectural choices were designed to instantiate the mathematical asymmetry.
