  • xiaojiang's questions, hope we could have agreements on these three points, and output some reports:
    1. Why Seq2seq is better than the previous language model methods in generating language sequence. Why GAN is better than standard Seq2seq?
    2. GAN has been successfully appllied to many new image tasks, such as image generation. What are the best tasks of GAN for text?
    3. Why GAN has no break-through on text yet? All possible reasons.
