Reviews: Training Language GANs from Scratch

I've raised my score accordingly, but I still think that there needs to be more solid results. In particular, while the rebuttal notes that ScratchGAN can almost match the MLE baseline, I am not sure how strong the MLE baseline itself is. Based on sample quality, I suspect that the MLE baseline itself is quite weak and does not use more modern LM approaches (e.g. Of course, I am not saying that the authors deliberately used weak baselines, but it would be helpful to compare against stronger MLE baselines too. Weaknesses: - The main weakness is empirical---scratchGAN appreciably underperforms an MLE model in terms of LM score and reverse LM score.
