About baseline of reward function

[jackyyeh5111]

hello everyone, I have learned that in order to reduce the variance of gradient estimator, usually we apply the "reward baseline" technique in the gradient optimization function like

However, I cannot find any reward baseline technique in SeqGAN code. Am I missing something?

thanks in advance!

The code doesn't have this baseline trick. You can try it and evaluate it yourself
