• Abstract: We introduce marginalization models (MAMs), a new family of generative models for high-dimensional discrete data. They offer scalable and flexible generative modeling by explicitly modeling all induced marginal distributions. Marginalization models enable fast approximation of arbitrary marginal probabilities with a single forward pass of the neural network, which overcomes a major limitation of arbitrary marginal inference models, such as any-order autoregressive models. MAMs also address the scalability bottleneck encountered in training any-order generative models for high-dimensional problems under the context of energy-based training, where the goal is to match the learned distribution to a given desired probability (specified by an unnormalized log-probability function such as energy or reward function). We propose scalable methods for learning the marginals, grounded in the concept of "marginalization self-consistency". We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model on a variety of discrete data distributions, including images, text, physical systems, and molecules, for maximum likelihood and energy-based training settings. MAMs achieve orders of magnitude speedup in evaluating the marginal probabilities on both settings. For energy-based training tasks, MAMs enable any-order generative modeling of high-dimensional problems beyond the scale of previous methods.

  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.

  Kernel density estimation (KDE) based models are popular choices for this task, but they fail to adapt to data regions with varying densities. An adaptive KDE model is employed to circumvent this, where each kernel in the model has an individual bandwidth. A modified expectation-maximization algorithm is employed to accelerate the optimization speed reliably.

  We propose regularized deep generative model (Reg-DGM) to reduce the variance of generative modeling with limited data. Reg-DGM uses a pre-trained model to optimize a weighted sum of a certain divergence and the expectation of an energy function. Empirically, with various pre-trained feature extractors and a data-dependent energy function, Reg-DGM consistently improves the generation performance of strong DGMs with limited data.
