Researchers have investigated the performance of two sampling methods, Predictor-Corrector (PC) and Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics (SGLD), when applied to Canonical Joint Energy-Based Models (JEM) on the CIFAR-10 dataset. The study aimed to determine if the PC sampler could replicate the theoretical advantages of SGLD in unifying classification and generation tasks. Findings indicated that both methods performed nearly identically in terms of test accuracy and out-of-distribution detection, with no clear advantage for PC over SGLD. The research also identified two failure modes: late-training divergence and run-dependent dynamics in OOD discrimination. AI
