Generative models dealing with modeling a~joint data distribution are generally either autoencoder or GAN based. Both have their pros and cons, generating blurry images or being unstable in training or prone to mode collapse phenomenon, respectively. The objective of this paper is to construct a~model situated between above architectures, one that does not inherit their main weaknesses. The proposed LCW generator (Latent Cramer-Wold generator) resembles a classical GAN in transforming Gaussian noise into data space. What is of utmost importance, instead of a~discriminator, LCW generator uses kernel distance. No adversarial training is utilized, hence the name generator. It is trained in two phases. First, an autoencoder based architecture, using kernel measures, is built to model a manifold of data. We propose a Latent Trick mapping a Gaussian to latent in order to get the final model. This results in very competitive FID values.

Recent research has revealed that deep generative models including flow-based models and Variational autoencoders may assign higher likelihood to out-of-distribution (OOD) data than in-distribution (ID) data. However, we cannot sample out OOD data from the model. This counterintuitive phenomenon has not been satisfactorily explained. In this paper, we prove theorems to investigate the divergences in flow-based model and give two explanations to the above phenomenon from divergence and geometric perspectives, respectively. Based on our analysis, we propose two group anomaly detection methods. Furthermore, we decompose the KL divergence and propose a point-wise anomaly detection method. We have conducted extensive experiments on prevalent benchmarks to evaluate our methods. For group anomaly detection (GAD), our method can achieve near 100% AUROC on all problems and has robustness against data manipulations. On the contrary, the state-of-the-art (SOTA) GAD method performs not better than random guessing for challenging problems and can be attacked by data manipulation in almost all cases. For point-wise anomaly detection (PAD), our method is comparable to the SOTA PAD method on one category of problems and outperforms the baseline significantly on another category of problems.
Generative models are typically trained on grid-like data such as images. As a result, the size of these models usually scales directly with the underlying grid resolution. In this paper, we abandon discretized grids and instead parameterize individual data points by continuous functions. We then build generative models by learning distributions over such functions. By treating data points as functions, we can abstract away from the specific type of data we train on and construct models that scale independently of signal resolution. To train our model, we use an adversarial approach with a discriminator that acts on continuous signals. Through experiments on both images and 3D shapes, we demonstrate that our model can learn rich distributions of functions independently of data type and resolution.
Deep learning models have significantly improved the visual quality and accuracy on compressive sensing recovery. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for signal reconstruction from compressed measurements with image priors captured by a generative model. We search and constrain on latent variable space to make the method stable when the number of compressed measurements is extremely limited. We show that, by exploiting certain structures of the latent variables, the proposed method produces improved reconstruction accuracy and preserves realistic and non-smooth features in the image. Our algorithm achieves high computation speed by projecting between the original signal space and the latent variable space in an alternating fashion.
Kernel PCA is a powerful feature extractor which recently has seen a reformulation in the context of Restricted Kernel Machines (RKMs). These RKMs allow for a representation of kernel PCA in terms of hidden and visible units similar to Restricted Boltzmann Machines. This connection has led to insights on how to use kernel PCA in a generative procedure, called generative kernel PCA. In this paper, the use of generative kernel PCA for exploring latent spaces of datasets is investigated. New points can be generated by gradually moving in the latent space, which allows for an interpretation of the components. Firstly, examples of this feature space exploration on three datasets are shown with one of them leading to an interpretable representation of ECG signals. Afterwards, the use of the tool in combination with novelty detection is shown, where the latent space around novel patterns in the data is explored. This helps in the interpretation of why certain points are considered as novel.
Deep generative models reproduce complex empirical data but cannot extrapolate to novel environments. An intuitive idea to promote extrapolation capabilities is to enforce the architecture to have the modular structure of a causal graphical model, where one can intervene on each module independently of the others in the graph. We develop a framework to formalize this intuition, using the principle of Independent Causal Mechanisms, and show how over-parameterization of generative neural networks can hinder extrapolation capabilities. Our experiments on the generation of human faces shows successive layers of a generator architecture implement independent mechanisms to some extent, allowing meaningful extrapolations. Finally, we illustrate that independence of mechanisms may be enforced during training to improve extrapolation.
