Variational Open-Domain Question Answering

2 code implementations23 Sep 2022 Valentin Liévin, Andreas Geert Motzfeldt, Ida Riis Jensen, Ole Winther

Retrieval-augmented models have proven to be effective in natural language processing tasks, yet there remains a lack of research on their optimization using variational inference.

Can large language models reason about medical questions?

1 code implementation17 Jul 2022 Valentin Liévin, Christoffer Egeberg Hother, Andreas Geert Motzfeldt, Ole Winther

Although large language models (LLMs) often produce impressive outputs, it remains unclear how they perform in real-world scenarios requiring strong reasoning skills and expert domain knowledge.

Optimal Variance Control of the Score-Function Gradient Estimator for Importance-Weighted Bounds

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2020 Valentin Liévin, Andrea Dittadi, Anders Christensen, Ole Winther

Empirically, for the training of both continuous and discrete generative models, the proposed method yields superior variance reduction, resulting in an SNR for IWAE that increases with $K$ without relying on the reparameterization trick.

Optimal Variance Control of the Score Function Gradient Estimator for Importance Weighted Bounds

1 code implementation5 Aug 2020 Valentin Liévin, Andrea Dittadi, Anders Christensen, Ole Winther

This paper introduces novel results for the score function gradient estimator of the importance weighted variational bound (IWAE).

Towards Hierarchical Discrete Variational Autoencoders

no code implementations pproximateinference AABI Symposium 2019 Valentin Liévin, Andrea Dittadi, Lars Maaløe, Ole Winther

We introduce the Hierarchical Discrete Variational Autoencoder (HD-VAE): a hi- erarchy of variational memory layers.

BIVA: A Very Deep Hierarchy of Latent Variables for Generative Modeling

2 code implementations NeurIPS 2019 Lars Maaløe, Marco Fraccaro, Valentin Liévin, Ole Winther

In this paper we close the performance gap by constructing VAE models that can effectively utilize a deep hierarchy of stochastic variables and model complex covariance structures.
