New regression losses enhance Generative Flow Network training

Researchers have developed new regression loss functions for Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) to improve their training process. By theoretically linking regression losses to specific divergence measures, the team designed three novel losses: Shifted-Cosh, Linex(1/2), and Linex(1). These new losses can enhance exploration and exploitation, leading to faster convergence, greater sample diversity, and improved robustness in tasks such as hyper-grid, bit-sequence generation, and molecule generation.
