Invertible Transformations for Generative Modelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This research program we explored invertible transformations for constructing novel forms of generative models.  Invertible transformations allow for constructing highly expressive generative models which are capable of efficient sampling and exact density modeling.  Further, by virtue of representing the transformation of a complex data distribution into a simple, known distribution, they allow for effective incorporation of domain specific knowledge.  In the past year I published the first introduction and review article on the topic of invertible generative models known as Normalizing Flows.  Further, I have published several papers exploring novel applications and models build upon normalizing flows, including the first normalizing flow model shown to model high resolution data.  I also ran a tutorial at ECCV 2020 on the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
