Learning Energy-Based Models by Diffusion Recovery Likelihood

Ruiqi Gao, Yang Song, Ben Poole +2

While energy-based models (EBMs) exhibit a number of desirable properties, training and sampling on high-dimensional datasets remains challenging. Inspired by recent progress on di…

VIB is Half Bayes

Alexander A Alemi, Warren R Morningstar, Ben Poole +2

In discriminative settings such as regression and classification there are two random variables at play, the inputs X and the targets Y. Here, we demonstrate that the Variational I…

Score-Based Generative Modeling through Stochastic Differential Equations

Yang Song, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein, Diederik P. Kingma +3

Creating noise from data is easy; creating data from noise is generative modeling. We present a stochastic differential equation (SDE) that smoothly transforms a complex data distr…

Non-saturating GAN training as divergence minimization

Matt Shannon, Ben Poole, Soroosh Mariooryad +5

Non-saturating generative adversarial network (GAN) training is widely used and has continued to obtain groundbreaking results. However so far this approach has lacked strong theor…

Tasks, stability, architecture, and compute: Training more effective learned optimizers, and using them to train themselves

Luke Metz, Niru Maheswaranathan, C. Daniel Freeman +2

Much as replacing hand-designed features with learned functions has revolutionized how we solve perceptual tasks, we believe learned algorithms will transform how we train models.…

What Makes for Good Views for Contrastive Learning?

Yonglong Tian, Chen Sun, Ben Poole +3

Contrastive learning between multiple views of the data has recently achieved state of the art performance in the field of self-supervised representation learning. Despite its succ…
