This method balances the generator and discriminator during training.\nAdditionally, it provides a new approximate convergence measure, fast and\nstable training and high visual quality. We also derive a way of controlling\nthe trade-off between image diversity and visual quality. We focus on the image\ngeneration task, setting a new milestone in visual quality, even at higher\nresolutions. This is achieved while using a relatively simple model\narchitecture and a standard training procedure.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.10717v4","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.10717v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/Aggrathon/MtGan","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"Apache-2.0"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/Heumi/BEGAN-tensorflow","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/JimmyDoan1309/BEGAN---Tensorflow-implementation","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/artcg/BEGAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/carpedm20/BEGAN-tensorflow","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/conan7882/tf-gans","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/davidismael/BEGAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/eriklindernoren/PyTorch-GAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/evan11401/CS_IOC5008_0856043_HW2","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/lvyufeng/MindSpore-GAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"mindspore","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/mlvc-lab/BeGan_pytorch","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/taey16/pix2pixBEGAN.pytorch","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/tensorpack/tensorpack/tree/master/examples/GAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/timsainb/GAIA","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/vbnmzxc9513/GAN_BEGAN_human-face","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/vbnmzxc9513/GAN_BEGAN_hw2","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/zhusiling/BEGAN_org","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}},{"paper_slug":"began-boundary-equilibrium-generative","repo_url":"https://github.com/consequencesunintended/BEGAN","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"diversity","task_name":"Diversity"},{"task_slug":"image-generation","task_name":"Image Generation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1703.10717","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
