提出可解释的生成对抗网络,用字典和分析变换建模数据分布。

Dictionary-Transform Generative Adversarial Networks

  • 用稀疏字典作生成器,分析变换作判别器,均为线性算子。
  • 理论证明存在纳什均衡,且解在稀疏结构下可唯一识别。
  • 训练稳定可靠,适合有稀疏结构的数据,如混合分布合成数据。

生成对抗网络(GAN)广泛用于分布学习,但经典框架存在目标不明确、训练不稳定和可解释性差等问题。本文提出字典-变换生成对抗网络(DT-GAN),其中生成器为稀疏合成字典,判别器为作为能量模型的分析变换。通过将双方限制为具显式约束的线性算子,DT-GAN彻底脱离神经网络架构,具备严格的理论分析能力。我们证明了该对抗博弈是良定义的,至少存在一个纳什均衡;在稀疏生成模型下,均衡解可被证明在标准置换与符号歧义下唯一,并表现出合成与分析算子间的精确几何对齐。进一步建立了经验均衡的有限样本稳定性与一致性,表明在标准采样假设下,DT-GAN训练能可靠收敛,且在重尾分布下仍保持鲁棒性。在混合结构合成数据上的实验验证了理论预测:DT-GAN持续恢复底层结构,在与标准GAN相同优化预算下表现稳定,而后者出现退化。DT-GAN并非神经网络GAN的通用替代品,而是针对具有稀疏合成结构的数据的原理性对抗学习方案。结果表明,当根植于经典稀疏建模时,对抗学习可实现可解释性、稳定性与可证明正确性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are widely used for distribution learning, yet their classical formulations remain theoretically fragile, with ill-posed objectives, unstable training dynamics, and limited interpretability. In this work, we introduce \emph{Dictionary-Transform Generative Adversarial Networks} (DT-GAN), a fully model-based adversarial framework in which the generator is a sparse synthesis dictionary and the discriminator is an analysis transform acting as an energy model. By restricting both players to linear operators with explicit constraints, DT-GAN departs fundamentally from neural GAN architectures and admits rigorous theoretical analysis. We show that the DT-GAN adversarial game is well posed and admits at least one Nash equilibrium. Under a sparse generative model, equilibrium solutions are provably identifiable up to standard permutation and sign ambiguities and exhibit a precise geometric alignment between synthesis and analysis operators. We further establish finite-sample stability and consistency of empirical equilibria, demonstrating that DT-GAN training converges reliably under standard sampling assumptions and remains robust in heavy-tailed regimes. Experiments on mixture-structured synthetic data validate the theoretical predictions, showing that DT-GAN consistently recovers underlying structure and exhibits stable behavior under identical optimization budgets where a standard GAN degrades. DT-GAN is not proposed as a universal replacement for neural GANs, but as a principled adversarial alternative for data distributions that admit sparse synthesis structure. The results demonstrate that adversarial learning can be made interpretable, stable, and provably correct when grounded in classical sparse modeling.
