What is a discriminator?

A system that determines whether examples are real or fake.

A system that determines whether examples are real or fake. Alternatively, the subsystem within a generative adversarial network that determines whether the examples created by the generator are real or fake. See The discriminator in the GAN course for more information.

Practitioners refer to discriminator when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
