Question - Why save with avg_param?

[gagandaroach]

Hello. Thank you for your great work.

Why do you save the model with the average G params?

Why not use the actual generator weights?

I traced the process through StackGAN++ and subsequently this VaE design. The move is coined a "reparameterization trick" in sec 2.4 of the paper. It assists when the incoming noise is not entirely deterministic.

Hi @gagandaroach
Thanks for your asking
Yes, I also follow StackGAN instruction and their code.
As you mentioned it has a purpose for stable training.
This is also written StackGAN++ paper in page4 line4
