Robust Classification using Hidden Markov Models and Mixtures of Normalizing Flows
We test the robustness of a maximum-likelihood (ML) based classifier where sequential data as observation is corrupted by noise. The hypothesis is that a generative model, that combines the state transitions of a hidden Markov model (HMM) and the neural network based probability distributions for the hidden states of the HMM, can provide a robust classification performance. The combined model is called normalizing-flow mixture model based HMM (NMM-HMM). It can be trained using a combination of expectation-maximization (EM) and backpropagation. We verify the improved robustness of NMM-HMM classifiers in an application to speech recognition.

Normalizing Flow based Hidden Markov Models for Classification of Speech Phones with Explainability
In pursuit of explainability, we develop generative models for sequential data. The proposed models provide state-of-the-art classification results and robust performance for speech phone classification. We combine moder…
ClassificationDiversityGeneralized Normalizing Flows via Markov Chains
Normalizing flows, diffusion normalizing flows and variational autoencoders are powerful generative models. This chapter provides a unified framework to handle these approaches via Markov chains. We consider stochastic n…
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…
Stochastic Normalizing Flows for Inverse Problems: a Markov Chains Viewpoint
To overcome topological constraints and improve the expressiveness of normalizing flow architectures, Wu, K\"ohler and No\'e introduced stochastic normalizing flows which combine deterministic, learnable flow transformat…
Go with the Flows: Mixtures of Normalizing Flows for Point Cloud Generation and Reconstruction
Recently normalizing flows (NFs) have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on modeling 3D point clouds while allowing sampling with arbitrary resolution at inference time. However, these flow-based models still requ…
