Optimal Variance Control of the Score Function Gradient Estimator for Importance Weighted Bounds
Valentin Liévin, Andrea Dittadi, Anders Christensen +1
This paper introduces novel results for the score function gradient estimator of the importance weighted variational bound (IWAE). We prove that in the limit of large (number o…
BIVA: A Very Deep Hierarchy of Latent Variables for Generative Modeling
Lars Maaløe, Marco Fraccaro, Valentin Liévin +1
With the introduction of the variational autoencoder (VAE), probabilistic latent variable models have received renewed attention as powerful generative models. However, their perfo…
A Disentangled Recognition and Nonlinear Dynamics Model for Unsupervised Learning
Marco Fraccaro, Simon Kamronn, Ulrich Paquet +1
This paper takes a step towards temporal reasoning in a dynamically changing video, not in the pixel space that constitutes its frames, but in a latent space that describes the non…
Predictive Active Set Selection Methods for Gaussian Processes
Ricardo Henao, Ole Winther
We propose an active set selection framework for Gaussian process classification for cases when the dataset is large enough to render its inference prohibitive. Our scheme consists…
