Question 19

+2 marksOne correct option

Which statement correctly distinguishes the two model families?

  1. A

    A GAN necessarily contains an explicit encoder that outputs a Gaussian posterior

  2. B

    A VAE uses a latent-variable objective with a regularized approximate posterior, whereas a GAN uses an adversarial training objective

  3. C

    A VAE is trained only through a discriminator

  4. D

    GANs and VAEs have the same training objective but different optimizers

Show answer

Correct answer

  • B

    A VAE uses a latent-variable objective with a regularized approximate posterior, whereas a GAN uses an adversarial training objective
