Learning a 1-layer conditional generative model in total variation

NeurIPS 2023poster

A conditional generative model is a method for sampling from a conditional distribution $p(y \mid x)$. For example, one may want to sample an image of a cat given the label ``cat''. A feed-forward conditional generative model is a function $g(x, z)$ that takes the input $x$ and a random seed $z$,…

Nonparametric Density Estimation & Convergence Rates for GANs under Besov IPM Losses

NeurIPS 2019oral

We study the problem of estimating a nonparametric probability distribution under a family of losses called Besov IPMs. This family is quite large, including, for example, L^p distances, total variation distance, and generalizations of both Wasserstein (earthmover's) and Kolmogorov-Smirnov distances…

Nonparametric Density Estimation under Adversarial Losses

NeurIPS 2018poster

We study minimax convergence rates of nonparametric density estimation under a large class of loss functions called ``adversarial losses'', which, besides classical L^p losses, includes maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), Wasserstein distance, and total variation distance. These losses are closely relat…
