• Abstract: The generation of discontinuous distributions is a difficult task for most known frameworks such as generative autoencoders and generative adversarial networks. Generative non-invertible models are unable to accurately generate such distributions, require long training and often are subject to mode collapse. Variational autoencoders (VAEs), which are based on the idea of keeping the latent space to be Gaussian for the sake of a simple sampling, allow an accurate reconstruction, while they experience significant limitations at generation task. In this work, instead of trying to keep the latent space to be Gaussian, we use a pre-trained contrastive encoder to obtain a clustered latent space. Then, for each cluster, representing a unimodal submanifold, we train a dedicated low complexity network to generate this submanifold from the Gaussian distribution. The proposed framework is based on the information-theoretic formulation of mutual information maximization between the input data and latent space representation. We derive a link between the cost functions and the information-theoretic formulation. We apply our approach to synthetic 2D distributions to demonstrate both reconstruction and generation of discontinuous distributions using continuous stochastic networks.

  We introduce Bellman Diffusion, a novel DGM framework that maintains linearity in MDPs through gradient and scalar field modeling. Our results show that Bellman Diffusion achieves accurate field estimations and is a capable image generator, converging 1.5x faster than the traditional histogram-based baseline in distributional RL tasks.

We validate DisCo-Diff on toy data, several image synthesis tasks as well as molecular docking, and find that introducing discrete latents consistently improves model performance.

• Fully Embedded Time-Series Generative Adversarial Networks [0.0]
  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) should produce synthetic data that fits the underlying distribution of the data being modeled. For real valued time-series data, this implies the need to simultaneously capture the static distribution of the data, but also the full temporal distribution of the data for any potential time horizon. In FETSGAN, entire sequences are translated directly to the generator's sampling space using a seq2seq style adversarial auto encoder (AAE)

We develop a simple yet effective method called Generative Interpolation to fuse generative models trained from multiple domains for synthesizing diverse OoD samples.
