Description

We propose a novel method to subtract distributions represented by samples. We train a subGAN that takes event samples from two distributions to generate samples filling the difference between the distributions. While the algorithm can have various applications for Monte Carlo methods, we illustrate its performance for Z + jets NLO event generation.
