This paper introduces a generative model equivariant to Euclidean symmetries: E(n) Equivariant Normalizing Flows (E-NFs). To construct E-NFs, we take the discriminative E(n) graph neural networks and integrate them as a differential equation to obtain an invertible equivariant function: a continuous-time normalizing flow. We demonstrate that E-NFs considerably outperform baselines and existing methods from the literature on particle systems such as DW4 and LJ13, and on molecules from QM9 in terms of log-likelihood. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first flow that jointly generates molecule features and positions in 3D.

Efficient gradient computation of the Jacobian determinant term is a core problem in many machine learning settings, and especially so in the normalizing flow framework. Most proposed flow models therefore either restrict to a function class with eas
y evaluation of the Jacobian determinant, or an efficient estimator thereof. However, these restrictions limit the performance of such density models, frequently requiring significant depth to reach desired performance levels. In this work, we propose Self Normalizing Flows, a flexible framework for training normalizing flows by replacing expensive terms in the gradient by learned approximate inverses at each layer. This reduces the computational complexity of each layers exact update from $mathcal{O}(D^3)$ to $mathcal{O}(D^2)$, allowing for the training of flow architectures which were otherwise computationally infeasible, while also providing efficient sampling. We show experimentally that such models are remarkably stable and optimize to similar data likelihood values as their exact gradient counterparts, while training more quickly and surpassing the performance of functionally constrained counterparts.
By chaining a sequence of differentiable invertible transformations, normalizing flows (NF) provide an expressive method of posterior approximation, exact density evaluation, and sampling. The trend in normalizing flow literature has been to devise d
eeper, more complex transformations to achieve greater flexibility. We propose an alternative: Gradient Boosted Normalizing Flows (GBNF) model a density by successively adding new NF components with gradient boosting. Under the boosting framework, each new NF component optimizes a sample weighted likelihood objective, resulting in new components that are fit to the residuals of the previously trained components. The GBNF formulation results in a mixture model structure, whose flexibility increases as more components are added. Moreover, GBNFs offer a wider, as opposed to strictly deeper, approach that improves existing NFs at the cost of additional training---not more complex transformations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique for density estimation and, by coupling GBNF with a variational autoencoder, generative modeling of images. Our results show that GBNFs outperform their non-boosted analog, and, in some cases, produce better results with smaller, simpler flows.
Normalizing flows, which learn a distribution by transforming the data to samples from a Gaussian base distribution, have proven powerful density approximations. But their expressive power is limited by this choice of the base distribution. We, there
fore, propose to generalize the base distribution to a more elaborate copula distribution to capture the properties of the target distribution more accurately. In a first empirical analysis, we demonstrate that this replacement can dramatically improve the vanilla normalizing flows in terms of flexibility, stability, and effectivity for heavy-tailed data. Our results suggest that the improvements are related to an increased local Lipschitz-stability of the learned flow.
Normalizing flows learn a diffeomorphic mapping between the target and base distribution, while the Jacobian determinant of that mapping forms another real-valued function. In this paper, we show that the Jacobian determinant mapping is unique for th
e given distributions, hence the likelihood objective of flows has a unique global optimum. In particular, the likelihood for a class of flows is explicitly expressed by the eigenvalues of the auto-correlation matrix of individual data point, and independent of the parameterization of neural network, which provides a theoretical optimal value of likelihood objective and relates to probabilistic PCA. Additionally, Jacobian determinant is a measure of local volume change and is maximized when MLE is used for optimization. To stabilize normalizing flows training, it is required to maintain a balance between the expansiveness and contraction of volume, meaning Lipschitz constraint on the diffeomorphic mapping and its inverse. With these theoretical results, several principles of designing normalizing flow were proposed. And numerical experiments on highdimensional datasets (such as CelebA-HQ 1024x1024) were conducted to show the improved stability of training.
We develop a flow-based sampling algorithm for $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theories that is gauge-invariant by construction. Our key contribution is constructing a class of flows on an $SU(N)$ variable (or on a $U(N)$ variable by a simple alternative) that
respect matrix conjugation symmetry. We apply this technique to sample distributions of single $SU(N)$ variables and to construct flow-based samplers for $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ lattice gauge theory in two dimensions.
