Researchers propose spherical flows for improved categorical data sampling

Researchers have developed a new method for learning generative models of discrete sequences by operating on a sphere instead of Euclidean space. This approach utilizes the von Mises-Fisher distribution to create a natural noise process and allows for both ODE and predictor-corrector sampling techniques. The method showed significant improvements in experiments involving Sudoku and language modeling tasks. AI
