Learning Multi-layer Latent Variable Model via Variational Optimization of Short Run MCMC for Approximate Inference
Erik Nijkamp, Bo Pang, Tian Han +3
This paper studies the fundamental problem of learning deep generative models that consist of multiple layers of latent variables organized in top-down architectures. Such models h…

Divergence Triangle for Joint Training of Generator Model, Energy-based Model, and Inference Model
Tian Han, Erik Nijkamp, Xiaolin Fang +3
This paper proposes the divergence triangle as a framework for joint training of generator model, energy-based model and inference model. The divergence triangle is a compact and s…
