Generative Models as Distributions of Functions
share
Generative models are typically trained on grid-like data such as images. As a result, the size of these models usually scales directly with the underlying grid resolution. In this paper, we abandon discretized grids and instead parameterize individual data points by continuous functions. We then build generative models by learning distributions over such functions. By treating data points as functions, we can abstract away from the specific type of data we train on and construct models that scale independently of signal resolution and dimension. To train our model, we use an adversarial approach with a discriminator that acts directly on continuous signals. Through experiments on both images and 3D shapes, we demonstrate that our model can learn rich distributions of functions independently of data type and resolution.
