Simplex-to-Euclidean Bijections for Categorical Flow Matching
Bernardo Williams, Victor M. Yeom-Song, Marcelo Hartmann +1
We propose a method for learning and sampling from probability distributions supported on the simplex. Our approach maps the open simplex to Euclidean space via smooth bijections,…

Geodesic Slice Sampler for Multimodal Distributions with Strong Curvature
Bernardo Williams, Hanlin Yu, Hoang Phuc Hau Luu +2
Traditional Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling methods often struggle with sharp curvatures, intricate geometries, and multimodal distributions. Slice sampling can resolve local exp…

Stochastic variance-reduced Gaussian variational inference on the Bures-Wasserstein manifold
Hoang Phuc Hau Luu, Hanlin Yu, Bernardo Williams +2
Optimization in the Bures-Wasserstein space has been gaining popularity in the machine learning community since it draws connections between variational inference and Wasserstein g…
