<p>I ran into a similar problem. The issue with WGAN is that the weight clipping method really cripples the model's ability to learn. The learning can saturate very quick. Weights are updates via backprop after every epoch but then they are clipped. I would suggest that you experiment with the clipping value more to extremes. Try [-1,1] and [-0.0001, 0.0001]. You will surely see a change. An example of saturating:
<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/QwTms.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/QwTms.png" alt="WGAN Critic loss for 100000 epochs" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see, loss value went to 0.999975 in the first few hundred iterations and then didn't move at all for 100000 iterations. I tried experimenting with different clipping values, the loss values were different but the behavior was same. When I tried [-0.005, 0.005], the loss saturated at around 1, for [-0.02, 0.02] around 0.8.</p>
<p>Your implementation looks correct but sometimes in GANs there's only so much you can do. So I suggest you try WGAN with gradient penalty. It has a nice method of enforcing K-Lipschitz continuity by fixing the L2-norm of the interpolated image as close to 1 (check out the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.00028" rel="nofollow noreferrer">paper</a>).
For evaluation in WGAN-GP, ideally you should see the critic's loss value start at some large negative number and then converge to 0.</p>
Keras-WGAN Critic And Generator Accuracy Stuck At 0
<p>I am trying to implement WGAN in Keras. I am using David Foster's Generative Deep Learning Book and <a href="https://github.com/eriklindernoren/Keras-GAN/blob/636ec0533df1d1ba2bfe4ec9ae7aa66bd7ee2177/wgan/wgan.py" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this code</a> as reference. I wrote down this simple code. However, whenever I start training the model, the accuracy is always 0 and the losses for Critic and Discriminator are ~0.</p>

<p>They are stuck at these number no matter how many epochs they train for. I tried various network configurations and different hyperparameters, but the result don't seem to change. Google did not help much either. I cannot pin down the source of this behavior. </p>

<p>This is the code I wrote.</p>
