Reviews: Classification Accuracy Score for Conditional Generative Models

Neural Information Processing Systems 

The author proposed Classification Accuracy Score -- a metric that is based on a performance of a discriminative model that is trained on samples obtained from the conditional generative model. The paper also discussed pros and cons of the proposed metric. The empirical study shows that a number of sota-level deep generative models fail to match the target distribution. Pros: While the idea has been proposed before in Shmelkov2018, it was not widely used in the field. The current paper points out some limitations of deep generative models as well as limitations currently used metrics, thus the paper delivers a significant contribution.
