Fast and Scalable Score-Based Kernel Calibration Tests

Pierre Glaser, David Widmann, Fredrik Lindsten +1

We introduce the Kernel Calibration Conditional Stein Discrepancy test (KCCSD test), a non-parametric, kernel-based test for assessing the calibration of probabilistic models with…

Near-Optimality of Contrastive Divergence Algorithms

Pierre Glaser, Kevin Han Huang, Arthur Gretton

We perform a non-asymptotic analysis of the contrastive divergence (CD) algorithm, a training method for unnormalized models. While prior work has established that (for exponential…

Efficiently Vectorized MCMC on Modern Accelerators

Hugh Dance, Pierre Glaser, Peter Orbanz +1

With the advent of automatic vectorization tools (e.g., JAX's ), writing multi-chain MCMC algorithms is often now as simple as invoking those tools on single-chain c…

(De)-regularized Maximum Mean Discrepancy Gradient Flow

Zonghao Chen, Aratrika Mustafi, Pierre Glaser +3

We introduce a (de)-regularization of the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (DrMMD) and its Wasserstein gradient flow. Existing gradient flows that transport samples from source distributio…

Maximum Likelihood Learning of Unnormalized Models for Simulation-Based Inference

Pierre Glaser, Michael Arbel, Samo Hromadka +2

We introduce two synthetic likelihood methods for Simulation-Based Inference (SBI), to conduct either amortized or targeted inference from experimental observations when a high-fid…

KALE Flow: A Relaxed KL Gradient Flow for Probabilities with Disjoint Support

Pierre Glaser, Michael Arbel, Arthur Gretton

We study the gradient flow for a relaxed approximation to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between a moving source and a fixed target distribution. This approximation, termed t…
