MMCGAN: Generative Adversarial Network with Explicit Manifold Prior
Generative Adversarial Network(GAN) provides a good generative framework to produce realistic samples, but suffers from two recognized issues as mode collapse and unstable training. In this work, we propose to employ explicit manifold learning as prior to alleviate mode collapse and stabilize training of GAN. Since the basic assumption of conventional manifold learning fails in case of sparse and uneven data distribution, we introduce a new target, Minimum Manifold Coding (MMC), for manifold learning to encourage simple and unfolded manifold. In essence, MMC is the general case of the shortest Hamiltonian Path problem and pursues manifold with minimum Riemann volume. Using the standardized code from MMC as prior, GAN is guaranteed to recover a simple and unfolded manifold covering all the training data. Our experiments on both the toy data and real datasets show the effectiveness of MMCGAN in alleviating mode collapse, stabilizing training, and improving the quality of generated samples.

Generative Model Inversion Through the Lens of the Manifold Hypothesis
Model inversion attacks (MIAs) aim to reconstruct class-representative samples from trained models. Recent generative MIAs utilize generative adversarial networks to learn image priors that guide the inversion process, y…
Generating and Aligning from Data Geometries with Generative Adversarial Networks
Unsupervised domain mapping has attracted substantial attention in recent years due to the success of models based on the cycle-consistency assumption. These models map between two domains by fooling a probabilistic disc…

Natural images may lie on a union of disjoint manifolds rather than one globally connected manifold, and this can cause several difficulties for the training of common Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). In this work…
A Non-Adversarial Approach to Idempotent Generative Modelling
Idempotent Generative Networks (IGNs) are deep generative models that also function as local data manifold projectors, mapping arbitrary inputs back onto the manifold. They are trained to act as identity operators on the…
Disentangling Adversarial Robustness in Directions of the Data Manifold
Using generative models (GAN or VAE) to craft adversarial examples, i.e. generative adversarial examples, has received increasing attention in recent years. Previous studies showed through experiments that the generative…
