Bayesian Flow Networks

1 code implementation14 Aug 2023 Alex Graves, Rupesh Kumar Srivastava, Timothy Atkinson, Faustino Gomez

Notably, the network inputs for discrete data lie on the probability simplex, and are therefore natively differentiable, paving the way for gradient-based sample guidance and few-step generation in discrete domains such as language modelling.

A Practical Sparse Approximation for Real Time Recurrent Learning

no code implementations12 Jun 2020 Jacob Menick, Erich Elsen, Utku Evci, Simon Osindero, Karen Simonyan, Alex Graves

Current methods for training recurrent neural networks are based on backpropagation through time, which requires storing a complete history of network states, and prohibits updating the weights `online' (after every timestep).

We conclude that ACNs are a promising new direction for representation learning: one that steps away from IID modelling, and towards learning a structured description of the dataset as a whole.
