Classifier-free guided diffusion models have recently been shown to be highly effective at high-resolution image generation, and they have been widely used in large-scale diffusion frameworks including DALL*E 2, Stable Diffusion and Imagen. However, a downside of classifier-free guided diffusion mod…
We consider the identifiability theory of probabilistic models and establish sufficient conditions under which the representations learnt by a very broad family of conditional energy-based models are unique in function space, up to a simple transformation. In our model family, the energy function is…
The framework of variational autoencoders allows us to efficiently learn deep latent-variable models, such that the model’s marginal distribution over observed variables fits the data. Often, we’re interested in going a step further, and want to approximate the true joint distribution over observed…
Recent advances in stochastic gradient variational inference have made it possible to perform variational Bayesian inference with posterior approximations containing auxiliary random variables. This enables us to explore a new synthesis of variational inference and Monte Carlo methods where we incor…
