A Text GAN for Language Generation with Non-Autoregressive Generator

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Fei Huang, Jian Guan, Pei Ke, Qihan Guo, Xiaoyan Zhu, Minlie Huang

Despite the great success of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in generating high-quality images, GANs for text generation still face two major challenges: first, most text GANs are unstable in training mainly due to ineffective optimization of the generator, and they heavily rely on maximum likelihood pretraining; second, most text GANs adopt autoregressive generators without latent variables, which largely limits the ability to learn latent representations for natural language text.
