Least squares generator loss.

This loss comes from Least Squares Generative Adversarial Networks (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.04076).

L = 1/2 * (D(G(z)) - real_label) ** 2

where D(y) are discriminator logits.

#### Args:

• discriminator_gen_outputs: Discriminator output on generated data. Expected to be in the range of (-inf, inf).
• real_label: The value that the generator is trying to get the discriminator to output on generated data.
• weights: Optional Tensor whose rank is either 0, or the same rank as discriminator_gen_outputs, and must be broadcastable to discriminator_gen_outputs (i.e., all dimensions must be either 1, or the same as the corresponding dimension).
• scope: The scope for the operations performed in computing the loss.
• loss_collection: collection to which this loss will be added.
• reduction: A tf.losses.Reduction to apply to loss.
• add_summaries: Whether or not to add summaries for the loss.

#### Returns:

A loss Tensor. The shape depends on reduction.
