Discriminator is a term used to describe a model in the field of machine learning, specifically within the domain of generative adversarial networks (GANs). A GAN consists of two neural networks, the generator and the discriminator, which are trained simultaneously through adversarial training. The discriminator's primary function is to distinguish between real data samples from a dataset and fake data samples generated by the generator. It acts as a binary classifier, outputting a probability that indicates whether a given sample is real or fake. The discriminator's performance is crucial for the overall success of the GAN, as it provides feedback to the generator on how to improve its outputs. The discriminator is trained to maximize its ability to correctly classify real and fake samples, while the generator is trained to minimize the discriminator's ability to distinguish between real and fake samples. This adversarial process encourages the generator to produce increasingly realistic outputs over time. The discriminator's architecture can vary depending on the specific application and dataset, but it typically consists of a series of layers, including convolutional layers for image data and fully connected layers for other types of data. The discriminator's training process involves optimizing a loss function, such as binary cross-entropy, to update its weights and improve its performance.
