Simpler, Faster, Stronger: Breaking The log-K Curse On Contrastive Learners With FlatNCE
Junya Chen, Zhe Gan, Xuan Li +10
InfoNCE-based contrastive representation learners, such as SimCLR, have been tremendously successful in recent years. However, these contrastive schemes are notoriously resource de…
A Unified Particle-Optimization Framework for Scalable Bayesian Sampling
Changyou Chen, Ruiyi Zhang, Wenlin Wang +2
There has been recent interest in developing scalable Bayesian sampling methods such as stochastic gradient MCMC (SG-MCMC) and Stein variational gradient descent (SVGD) for big-dat…
Symmetric Variational Autoencoder and Connections to Adversarial Learning
Liqun Chen, Shuyang Dai, Yunchen Pu +3
A new form of the variational autoencoder (VAE) is proposed, based on the symmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence. It is demonstrated that learning of the resulting symmetric VAE (sV…
ALICE: Towards Understanding Adversarial Learning for Joint Distribution Matching
Chunyuan Li, Hao Liu, Changyou Chen +4
We investigate the non-identifiability issues associated with bidirectional adversarial training for joint distribution matching. Within a framework of conditional entropy, we prop…
