GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORKS WITH TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DISCRIMINATORS FOR EFFICIENT VIDEO GENERATION

摘要

The present disclosure proposes the use of a dual discriminator network that comprises a temporal discriminator network for discriminating based on temporal features of a series of images and a spatial discriminator network for discriminating based on spatial features of individual images. The training methods described herein provide improvements in computational efficiency. This is achieved by applying the spatial discriminator network to a set of one or more images that have reduced temporal resolution and applying the temporal discriminator network to a set of images that have reduced spatial resolution. This allows each of the discriminator networks to be applied more efficiently in order to produce a discriminator score for use in training the generator, whilst maintaining accuracy of the discriminator network. In addition, this allows a generator network to be trained to more accurately generate sequences of images, through the use of the improved discriminator.
