Gradient flow through sampled tokens when training RNNs (but without teacher forcing)

Suppose we want to train an autoregressive generative language model based on a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture without teacher forcing: At each timestep, the RNN takes an input token $x_t$...

How can we use ReLU activation in a Normalizing Flow model? More generally, is differentiable almost everywhere enough for a normalizing flow?

In some works, e.g., enter link description here normalizing flow models are considered with ReLU activation. For example, using a planar flow, $f = f_n \circ ... \circ f_1$, and each $f_i$ has the ...

Asymptotic for LAD - Problem 16, p.84 Van der Vaart

From Van der Vaart's Asymptotics Statistics, we have the derivation of the asymptotics for the least square regression (Example 5.27). Now, the problem 16 of the same section regards the asymptotics ...

Differentiability in Generative Adversarial Networks

I've got some questions about the differentiability condition of GAN's, i.e. both G and D need to be differentiable wrt. their inputs and the parameters describing them. It's of more mathematical ...

Poisson log-likelihood is concave but not Lipschitz-continuous?

According to He et al. (2016), the log-likelihood of Poisson models, $$ L (\beta) = \sum_{i} - \log(x_{i}^{\mathsf{T}}\beta) + y_{i}x_{i}^{\mathsf{T}}\beta - \log y_{i}! $$ for a random variable, $y_{...
