• Abstract summary: This paper introduces Diffuse-TreeVAE, a deep generative model that integrates hierarchical clustering into the framework of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) The proposed approach generates new images by sampling from a root embedding of a learned latent tree VAE-based structure, it then propagates through hierarchical paths, and utilizes a second-stage DDPM to refine and generate distinct, high-quality images for each data cluster.

• Abstract: This paper introduces Diffuse-TreeVAE, a deep generative model that integrates hierarchical clustering into the framework of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs). The proposed approach generates new images by sampling from a root embedding of a learned latent tree VAE-based structure, it then propagates through hierarchical paths, and utilizes a second-stage DDPM to refine and generate distinct, high-quality images for each data cluster. The result is a model that not only improves image clarity but also ensures that the generated samples are representative of their respective clusters, addressing the limitations of previous VAE-based methods and advancing the state of clustering-based generative modeling.

• Hierarchical Clustering for Conditional Diffusion in Image Generation [12.618079575423868]
  This paper introduces TreeDiffusion, a deep generative model that conditions Diffusion Models on hierarchical clusters to obtain high-quality, cluster-specific generations. The proposed pipeline consists of two steps: a VAE-based clustering model that learns the hierarchical structure of the data, and a conditional diffusion model that generates realistic images for each cluster.

• Hierarchical clustering with dot products recovers hidden tree structure [53.68551192799585]
  In this paper we offer a new perspective on the well established agglomerative clustering algorithm, focusing on recovery of hierarchical structure. We recommend a simple variant of the standard algorithm, in which clusters are merged by maximum average dot product and not, for example, by minimum distance or within-cluster variance. We demonstrate that the tree output by this algorithm provides a bona fide estimate of generative hierarchical structure in data, under a generic probabilistic graphical model.

  We present a new probabilistic approach for image modeling capable of density estimation, sampling and tractable inference. DCGMMs can be trained end-to-end by SGD from random initial conditions, much like CNNs. We show that DCGMMs compare favorably to several recent PC and SPN models in terms of inference, classification and sampling.

  Deep clustering (DC) learns embedding spaces that are optimal for cluster analysis. We propose HC-MGAN, a new technique based on GANs with multiple generators (MGANs) Our method is inspired by the observation that each generator of a MGAN tends to generate data that correlates with a sub-region of the real data distribution.

• Improving the Reconstruction of Disentangled Representation Learners via Multi-Stage Modeling [54.94763543386523]
  Current autoencoder-based disentangled representation learning methods achieve disentanglement by penalizing the ( aggregate) posterior to encourage statistical independence of the latent factors. We present a novel multi-stage modeling approach where the disentangled factors are first learned using a penalty-based disentangled representation learning method. Then, the low-quality reconstruction is improved with another deep generative model that is trained to model the missing correlated latent variables.

  Flow-based generative models have become an important class of unsupervised learning approaches. In this work, we incorporate the key ideas of renormalization group (RG) and sparse prior distribution to design a hierarchical flow-based generative model, RG-Flow. Our proposed method has $O(log L)$ complexity for inpainting of an image with edge length $L$, compared to previous generative models with $O(L2)$ complexity.

  We introduce channel-wise dependencies in their latent space through multi-scale autoregressive priors (mAR) Our mAR prior for models with split coupling flow layers (mAR-SCF) can better capture dependencies in complex multimodal data. We show that mAR-SCF allows for improved image generation quality, with gains in FID and Inception scores compared to state-of-the-art flow-based models.
