New analysis reveals flaws in conditional generative model training

This paper analyzes the error rates of triangular transport maps used in conditional generative models. Researchers found that minimizing a joint Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) can lead to inconsistent conditional measures, especially in misspecified parametric settings. An alternative estimator that directly targets conditional MMD is proposed, with a non-asymptotic error bound that decomposes into approximation, estimation, and reference sampling errors. The study suggests that focusing on conditional error, rather than joint error, is crucial for training conditional generative models effectively. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential issues in training conditional generative models, suggesting a need for revised approaches to improve accuracy.

    On the Error Analysis of Triangular Transport Maps for Conditional Generation via MMD-based Objectives

    arXiv:2610.33610v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conditional generative models parameterized by triangular transport maps are widely used for conditional sampling, yet theoretical guarantees on the quality of the conditional measures they produce remain scarce. We address this que…
