Tensor-Network Population Annealing

Takumi Oshima, Yuma Ichikawa, Koji Hukushima

We propose a hybrid sampling method, tensor-network population annealing (TNPA), which combines tensor-network (TN) initialization with population annealing (PA). We apply this met…

Ratio Divergence Learning Using Target Energy in Restricted Boltzmann Machines: Beyond Kullback--Leibler Divergence Learning

Yuichi Ishida, Yuma Ichikawa, Aki Dote +2

We propose ratio divergence (RD) learning for discrete energy-based models, a method that utilizes both training data and a tractable target energy function. We apply RD learning t…

Learning Dynamics in Linear VAE: Posterior Collapse Threshold, Superfluous Latent Space Pitfalls, and Speedup with KL Annealing

Yuma Ichikawa, Koji Hukushima

Variational autoencoders (VAEs) face a notorious problem wherein the variational posterior often aligns closely with the prior, a phenomenon known as posterior collapse, which hind…

High-dimensional Asymptotics of VAEs: Threshold of Posterior Collapse and Dataset-Size Dependence of Rate-Distortion Curve

Yuma Ichikawa, Koji Hukushima

In variational autoencoders (VAEs), the variational posterior often collapses to the prior, known as posterior collapse, which leads to poor representation learning quality. An adj…
