Jul 16, 2021 · This article has gone through the basics of normalizing flows and compared them with other GANs and VAEs, followed by discussing the Glow model. We also implemented the Glow model and trained it using the MNIST dataset and sampled 25 images from both datasets.

Normalizing Flows –Characteristics For a good (efficient) flow, we must have functions (steps) that are: 1. Expressive 2. Invertible 3. Offer cheap to compute Jacobian determinants Computing a determinant is a cubic operation, but some special cases of matrices can make it very cheap. Especially, diagonal matrices:

Jul 17, 2019 · In this blog to understand normalizing flows better, we will cover the algorithm’s theory and implement a flow model in PyTorch. But first, let us flow through the advantages and disadvantages of normalizing flows.

Jan 17, 2018 · In this post, I explain how invertible transformations of densities can be used to implement more complex densities, and how these transformations can be chained together to form a “normalizing flow”.

Aug 25, 2019 · Normalizing Flows are generative models which produce tractable distributions where both sampling and density evaluation can be efficient and exact. The goal of this survey article is to give a coherent and comprehensive review of the literature around the construction and use of Normalizing Flows for distribution learning.

Key idea behind flow models: Map simple distributions (easy to sample and evaluate densities) to complex distributions through an invertible transformation. Stefano Ermon (AI Lab) Deep Generative Models Lecture 73/19

In the past, normalizing generative flows have emerged as a promising class of generative models for natural images. This type of model has many modeling advantages: the ability to...

Our model consists of an invertible flow network f θ , conditioned on an encoding (green) of the lowresolution image. The flow network operates at multiple scale levels (gray). The input is...

Aug 7, 2020 · A normalizing flow is a differentiable transformation $T$ with inverse $T^{-1}$, such that if we pass $\mathbf{u}$ through $T$, we get another vector $T(\mathbf{u}) = \mathbf{x}$ in $\mathbb{R}^D$. Since $\mathbf{u}$ is a sample from a random variable, it follows that $\mathbf{x}$ is also a sample from another random variable.
