Spherical Flows for Sampling Categorical Data
Jannis Chemseddine, Gregor Kornhardt, Gabriele Steidl
We study the problem of learning generative models for discrete sequences in a continuous embedding space. Whereas prior approaches typically operate in Euclidean space or on the p…
Adapting Noise to Data: Generative Flows from 1D Processes
Jannis Chemseddine, Gregor Kornhardt, Richard Duong +1
The default Gaussian latent in flow-based generative models poses challenges when learning certain distributions such as heavy-tailed ones. We introduce a general framework for lea…
Smoothed Distance Kernels for MMDs and Applications in Wasserstein Gradient Flows
Nicolaj Rux, Michael Quellmalz, Gabriele Steidl
Negative distance kernels were used in the definition of maximum mean discrepancies (MMDs) in statistics and lead to favorable numerical results in various ap…
Wasserstein Gradient Flows for Moreau Envelopes of f-Divergences in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces
Viktor Stein, Sebastian Neumayer, Nicolaj Rux +1
Commonly used -divergences of measures, e.g., the Kullback-Leibler divergence, are subject to limitations regarding the support of the involved measures. A remedy is regularizin…
