Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown immense potential in fields far from physics, such as in text and image generation. Here we use GANs to learn a prototypical stochastic process on a lattice. By suitably adding noise to the original data we succeed in bringing both the Generator and the Discriminator loss functions close to their ideal value. However, as typical for adversarial approaches, oscillations persist. This undermines model selection and the quality of the generated trajectory. We demonstrate that a suitable multi-model procedure where stochastic trajectories are advanced at each step upon randomly selecting a Generator leads to a remarkable increase in accuracy. Based on the reported findings GANs appears as a promising tool to tackle complex statistical dynamics.
