Generative models aid Monte Carlo sampling in scientific computing

A new tutorial review published on arXiv explores the use of generative models, such as normalizing flows and diffusion models, as tools to assist Monte Carlo sampling. This approach is particularly relevant for high-dimensional probability distributions encountered in fields like Bayesian inference, statistical physics, and molecular simulation. The paper highlights how these models can help overcome challenges in scaling to high dimensions and efficiently exploring multimodal distributions, offering a new paradigm at the intersection of machine learning and computational statistical physics.
