Sparse Generative Adversarial Network

2019 IEEE/CVF INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION WORKSHOPS (ICCVW), pp. 3063–3071.

TL;DR: A new approach to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to achieve an improved performance with additional robustness to its so-called and well-recognized mode collapse, by mapping the desired data onto a frame-based space for a sparse representation to lift any limitation of small support features prior to learning the structure.
