A Convenient Infinite Dimensional Framework for Generative Adversarial Learning

In recent years, generative adversarial networks (GANs) have demonstrated impressive experimental results while there are only a few works that foster statistical learning theory for GANs. In this work, we propose an infinite dimensional theoretical framework for generative adversarial learning. Assuming the class of uniformly bounded $k$-times $\alpha$-H\"older differentiable and uniformly positive densities, we show that the Rosenblatt transformation induces an optimal generator, which is realizable in the hypothesis space of $\alpha$-H\"older differentiable generators. With a consistent definition of the hypothesis space of discriminators, we further show that in our framework the Jensen-Shannon divergence between the distribution induced by the generator from the adversarial learning procedure and the data generating distribution converges to zero. Under sufficiently strict regularity assumptions on the density of the data generating process, we also provide rates of convergence based on concentration and chaining.
