Our formerly pre-registered paper called “Elevating Perceptual Sample Quality in Probabilistic Circuits through Differentiable Sampling” is finally out in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR), Volume 181, Pages 1-21. The paper has started as part of the NeurIPS 2021 Preregister Science Workshop, where the… Read More »“Elevating Perceptual Sample Quality in Probabilistic Circuits through Differentiable Sampling” paper out now in PMLR 181

Our paper titled “Return of the normal distribution: Flexible deep continual learning with variational auto-encoders” is now published in Neural Networks, Volume 154, Pages 397-412, October 2022. In the paper we propose a novel two-stage variational auto-encoder approach to continual learning. Our approach comes with… Read More »“Return of the normal distribution: Flexible deep continual learning with variational auto-encoders” paper now in Neural Networks 154
