Do you want expressive mixture models that can subtract probability mass? you can square circuits! But by doing so we can also lose expressiveness 🚨 We introduce sum of squares 🆘 PCs to overcome this limitation. 🆘 PCs also explain why complex parameters boost performance!

One trick that I like to use when training my neural networks is to add some noise ε~Laplace(time(), sqrt(time())) to the gradients of the 13th layer at epoch 3 for batch 7.

We are organizing a Dagstuhl Seminar ( @dagstuhl ) in April on "Recent advancements in #tractable probabilistic inference" to exactly discuss where we stand and what the future looks like for #deep generative models! with @priyankjaini @kerstingAIML @wellingmax Stay tuned

Are there any flexible probabilistic model classes (neural or non-neural) that permit tractable computation of expectations, information & distributional properties generally (bonus points for conditional variants) @guyvdb @martin_trapp @DaniloJRezende ?

I am thrilled to announce that 2/2 bars have been accepted by this COVID test, making it one of the most positive results it can provide. (no worries, I will be back to boast about #NeurIPS hopefully soon)

Even more remarkable than the publicly available lib in 🐍 are the benchmarks run in the paper (👉 ). TL;DR: deterministic AEs can be comparable and often much better generative models than VAEs and variants! A short 🧵👇

This paper will get a thread at a certain point as it has many stories to tell, beyond its interesting technical content. For example, it was brutally rejected at @icmlconf earlier this year before getting accepted as oral now at @NeurIPSConf #NeurIPS2021 ! 👀

Amazing art and explanation of the underlying math. A mixture of increasingly more complex polynomials to "fit" a realistic terrain!🔥 This can be a nice recipe for a boosting algorithm for density estimation...👀

what is going on with @NeurIPSConf early registration for conference and workshop costing 850$? Isn't it almost double the pre-pandemic cost of an in-person conference?

"we show that a simple greedy algorithm, running in almost linear time, can find solutions of much better quality than the GNN. The greedy algorithm is faster by a factor of 10**4 for problems with a million variables." 🔥🔥🔥
