Lotka–Volterra model with mutations and generative adversarial networks

Abstract

A model of population genetics of the Lotka–Volterra type with mutations on a statistical manifold is introduced. Mutations in the model are described by diffusion on a statistical manifold with a generator in the form of a Laplace–Beltrami operator with a Fisher–Rao metric, that is, the model combines population genetics and information geometry. This model describes a generalization of the model of machine learning theory, the model of generative adversarial network (GAN), to the case of populations of generative adversarial networks. The introduced model describes the control of overfitting for generating adversarial networks.
