+Wasserstein GAN
+===============
+
+Code accompanying the paper ["Wasserstein GAN"](https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.07875)
+
+##Prerequisites
+
+- Computer with Linux or OSX
+- [PyTorch](http://pytorch.org)
+- For training, an NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended for speed. CPU is supported but training is very slow.
+
+
+##Reproducing LSUN experiments
+
+**With DCGAN:**
+
+```python
+python main.py --dataset lsun --dataroot [lsun-train-folder] --cuda
+```
+
+**With MLP:**
+
+```python
+python main.py --mlp_G --ngf 512
+```
+
+More improved README in the works.
