GumBolt: Extending Gumbel trick to Boltzmann priors
Amir H. Khoshaman, Mohammad H. Amin
Boltzmann machines (BMs) are appealing candidates for powerful priors in variational autoencoders (VAEs), as they are capable of capturing nontrivial and multi-modal distributions…
Quantum Variational Autoencoder
Amir Khoshaman, Walter Vinci, Brandon Denis +3
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are powerful generative models with the salient ability to perform inference. Here, we introduce a quantum variational autoencoder (QVAE): a VAE who…
DVAE++: Discrete Variational Autoencoders with Overlapping Transformations
Arash Vahdat, William G. Macready, Zhengbing Bian +2
Training of discrete latent variable models remains challenging because passing gradient information through discrete units is difficult. We propose a new class of smoothing transf…
