Learning Non-Convergent Non-Persistent Short-Run MCMC Toward Energy-Based Model
Erik Nijkamp, Mitch Hill, Song-Chun Zhu +1
This paper studies a curious phenomenon in learning energy-based model (EBM) using MCMC. In each learning iteration, we generate synthesized examples by running a non-convergent, n…

On the Anatomy of MCMC-Based Maximum Likelihood Learning of Energy-Based Models
Erik Nijkamp, Mitch Hill, Tian Han +2
This study investigates the effects of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling in unsupervised Maximum Likelihood (ML) learning. Our attention is restricted to the family of unnor…

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…
