## Wasserstein GAN (WGAN) with Gradient Penalty (GP)
Original Paper Of WGAN : [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.07875)
Wasserstein GANs With Gradient Penalty : [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.00028)
The original Wasserstein GAN leverages the Wasserstein distance to produce a value function that has better theoretical properties than the value function used in the original GAN paper. WGAN requires that the discriminator (aka the critic) lie within the space of 1-Lipschitz functions. The authors proposed the idea of weight clipping to achieve this constraint. Though weight clipping works, it can be a problematic way to enforce 1-Lipschitz constraint and can cause undesirable behavior, e.g. a very deep WGAN discriminator (critic) often fails to converge.
The WGAN-GP method proposes an alternative to weight clipping to ensure smooth training. Instead of clipping the weights, the authors proposed a "gradient penalty" by adding a loss term that keeps the L2 norm of the discriminator gradients close to 1.
