HMC with Normalizing Flows
We propose using Normalizing Flows as a trainable kernel within the molecular dynamics update of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC). By learning (invertible) transformations that simplify our dynamics, we can outperform traditional methods at generating independent configurations. We show that, using a carefully constructed network architecture, our approach can be easily scaled to large lattice volumes with minimal retraining effort. The source code for our implementation is publicly available online at https://github.com/nftqcd/fthmc.

Sylvester Normalizing Flows for Variational Inference
Variational inference relies on flexible approximate posterior distributions. Normalizing flows provide a general recipe to construct flexible variational posteriors. We introduce Sylvester normalizing flows, which can b…
Variational InferenceFlows for Flows: Training Normalizing Flows Between Arbitrary Distributions with Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Normalizing flows are constructed from a base distribution with a known density and a diffeomorphism with a tractable Jacobian. The base density of a normalizing flow can be parameterised by a different normalizing flow,…
Learning normalizing flows from Entropy-Kantorovich potentials
We approach the problem of learning continuous normalizing flows from a dual perspective motivated by entropy-regularized optimal transport, in which continuous normalizing flows are cast as gradients of scalar potential…
Projected Latent Markov Chain Monte Carlo: Conditional Sampling of Normalizing Flows
We introduce Projected Latent Markov Chain Monte Carlo (PL-MCMC), a technique for sampling from the high-dimensional conditional distributions learned by a normalizing flow. We prove that a Metropolis-Hastings implementa…
normflows: A PyTorch Package for Normalizing Flows
Normalizing flows model probability distributions through an expressive tractable density. They transform a simple base distribution, such as a Gaussian, through a sequence of invertible functions, which are referred to …
