Advanced Deep Learning Interview Questions #22 - The Perfect Discriminator Trap
In a senior ML interview, candidates are asked why a freshly initialized GAN shows a perfect‑score discriminator and vanishing gradients. The trap highlights that the issue isn’t an over‑powerful discriminator but the statistical nature of the Jensen‑Shannon divergence when real and fake data lie on disjoint manifolds. Hyper‑parameter tweaks like lowering learning rates or adding noise merely mask the problem. The proper fix is to change the training objective or architecture so the generator receives informative gradients from the start.
