RBM-Flow and D-Flow: Invertible Flows with Discrete Energy Base Spaces
Daniel O'Connor, Walter Vinci
Efficient sampling of complex data distributions can be achieved using trained invertible flows (IF), where the model distribution is generated by pushing a simple base distributio…

Breaking the Span Assumption Yields Fast Finite-Sum Minimization
Robert Hannah, Yanli Liu, Daniel O'Connor +1
In this paper, we show that SVRG and SARAH can be modified to be fundamentally faster than all of the other standard algorithms that minimize the sum of smooth functions, such…
