Variational Autoencoder with Arbitrary Conditioning

Oleg Ivanov, Michael Figurnov, Dmitry Vetrov

We propose a single neural probabilistic model based on variational autoencoder that can be conditioned on an arbitrary subset of observed features and then sample the remaining fe…

Probabilistic Adaptive Computation Time

Michael Figurnov, Artem Sobolev, Dmitry Vetrov

We present a probabilistic model with discrete latent variables that control the computation time in deep learning models such as ResNets and LSTMs. A prior on the latent variables…
