generators

Definition

The component that produces samples. In GANs it is the half trained against a discriminator, mapping noise to data-like outputs. More broadly, papers now split systems into a generator that proposes candidates and a verifier that filters them, because proposing is cheap while checking is what adds reliability. Unrelated to the programming-language sense of a lazy iterator.
