text: Quick summary: This paper proposes an energy based formulation to the BEGAN model and modifies it to include an image quality assessment based term. The model is then trained with CelebA under different parameters settings and results are analyzed. Quality and significance: This is quite a technical paper, written in a very compressed form and is a bit hard to follow. Mostly it is hard to estimate what is the contribution of the model and how the results differ from baseline models. Clarity: I would say this is one of the weak points of the paper - the paper is not well motivated and the results are not clearly presented. Originality: Seems original. Pros: * Interesting energy formulation and variation over BEGAN Cons: * Not a clear paper * results are only partially motivated and analyzed
