Then, classical GAN is just a maximum likelihood estimate (or, a MAP estimate with uniform prior) of the parameters. Next, the paper said: how about sampling the whole posterior distribution instead of finding only one point of maximum likelihood as classical GANs do. This is the point where the famous Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms become useful. They use something called stochastic gradient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1705.09558/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
