Learning Deep Energy Models: Contrastive Divergence vs. Amortized MLE
We propose a number of new algorithms for learning deep energy models and demonstrate their properties. We show that our SteinCD performs well in term of test likelihood, while SteinGAN performs well in terms of generating realistic looking images. Our results suggest promising directions for learning better models by combining GAN-style methods with traditional energy-based learning.

Discriminator Contrastive Divergence: Semi-Amortized Generative Modeling by Exploring Energy of the Discriminator
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown great promise in modeling high dimensional data. The learning objective of GANs usually minimizes some measure discrepancy, \textit{e.g.}, $f$-divergence~($f$-GANs) or In…

Learning Energy-Based Model with Variational Auto-Encoder as Amortized Sampler
Due to the intractable partition function, training energy-based models (EBMs) by maximum likelihood requires Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling to approximate the gradient of the Kullback-Leibler divergence betwee…
Forward Amortized Inference for Likelihood-Free Variational Marginalization
In this paper, we introduce a new form of amortized variational inference by using the forward KL divergence in a joint-contrastive variational loss. The resulting forward amortized variational inference is a likelihood-…
