New method simplifies training of conditional flow models for ill-posed problems

A new paper proposes a method for training conditional flow models using a proxy for maximum likelihood on the joint distribution of data and conditions. This approach simplifies the training process for ill-posed inverse problems by avoiding the need for explicit conditional distributions or auxiliary networks. The method has been demonstrated on tasks such as generating class-conditional images and performing super-resolution on degraded images. AI

IMPACT This research offers a more efficient method for training conditional flow models, potentially improving performance on tasks like image generation and restoration.

    Maximum Likelihood on the Joint (Data, Condition) Distribution for Solving Ill-Posed Problems with Conditional Flow Models

    arXiv:2208.11782v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In the absence of conditioning information, normalizing flow models are trained using maximum likelihood. Previous extensions to conditional settings have abandoned the simple maximum-likelihood approach, as obtaining the full j…
