Abstract

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a widely used framework for learning generative models. Wasserstein GANs (WGANs), one of the most successful variants of GANs, require solving a min-max optimization problem to global optimality but are in practice successfully trained using stochastic gradient descent-ascent. In this talk, we show that, when the generator is a one-layer network, stochastic gradient descent-ascent converges to a global solution with polynomial time and sample complexity.
