New KLXX Loss Function Enhances Mode Coverage in Boltzmann Generators

Researchers have introduced KLXX, a novel loss function designed to improve mode coverage in normalizing flow Boltzmann generators. This new function incorporates log-ratio variations, specifically the mean absolute pairwise difference of the target-to-pushforward log-density ratio, to enhance accuracy and explore candidate modes. The Fisher--Rao gradient flow of KLXX demonstrates nonpositive dissipation, and numerical tests show improved mode coverage and diagnostic accuracy compared to standard forward KL loss. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method to improve the accuracy and mode coverage of Boltzmann generators, potentially enhancing their utility in complex generative tasks.

    Mode Coverage in Normalizing Flow Boltzmann Generators via Log-Ratio Variation

    arXiv:2609.09473v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Normalizing flow Boltzmann generators retain a tractable pushforward density, but training with forward KL depends on target samples that may be biased or omit modes. As a result, a flow can miss target mass while its observed impor…
