Latent Optimisation is a technique used for generative adversarial networks to refine the sample quality of z. Specifically, it exploits knowledge from the discriminator D to refine the latent source z. Intuitively, the gradient ∇_zf(z) = δf(z)δz points in the direction that better satisfies the discriminator D, which implies better samples. Therefore, instead of using the randomly sampled z ∼p(z), we uses the optimised latent:

Δz = α(δf(z))/δz

z′ = z + Δz

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (13 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
