Mask Forcing eases this mode collapse by randomly swapping some tokens in the student's own rollout for slightly cleaner ones — no real data, no extra post-training stage. 02 ·Generative Models·FREE·PAPER·10 min read The Rise and Fall of GANs — An Invention Trained by Rivalry, and Why Diffusion Won In 2014, GANs upended image generation with one idea: don't write down what 'realistic' means — learn it. This traces the decade that followed, through mode collapse, the Wasserstein rescue, and the reasons diffusion models eventually took the crown.
