Detecting and Mitigating Mode-Collapse for Flow-based Sampling of Lattice Field Theories
In this work, we first point out that the tunneling problem is also present for normalizing flows but is shifted from the sampling to the training phase of the algorithm.
Gradients should stay on Path: Better Estimators of the Reverse- and Forward KL Divergence for Normalizing Flows
We propose an algorithm to estimate the path-gradient of both the reverse and forward Kullback-Leibler divergence for an arbitrary manifestly invertible normalizing flow.
Path-Gradient Estimators for Continuous Normalizing Flows
Recent work has established a path-gradient estimator for simple variational Gaussian distributions and has argued that the path-gradient is particularly beneficial in the regime in which the variational distribution approaches the exact target distribution.
Machine Learning of Thermodynamic Observables in the Presence of Mode Collapse
Crucially, these models allow for the direct estimation of the free energy at a given point in parameter space.
Estimation of Thermodynamic Observables in Lattice Field Theories with Deep Generative Models
In this work, we demonstrate that applying deep generative machine learning models for lattice field theory is a promising route for solving problems where Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are problematic.
Asymptotically unbiased estimation of physical observables with neural samplers
We propose a general framework for the estimation of observables with generative neural samplers focusing on modern deep generative neural networks that provide an exact sampling probability.
Analysis of Atomistic Representations Using Weighted Skip-Connections
In this work, we extend the SchNet architecture by using weighted skip connections to assemble the final representation.
