Estimation of thermodynamic observables in lattice field theories with deep generative models

KA Nicoli, CJ Anders, L Funcke, T Hartung, K Jansen… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
In this Letter, we demonstrate that applying deep generative machine learning models for
lattice field theory is a promising route for solving problems where Markov chain Monte …

Gradients should stay on path: better estimators of the reverse-and forward KL divergence for normalizing flows

L Vaitl, KA Nicoli, S Nakajima… - … Learning: Science and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We show how to use the path-wise derivative estimator for both the forward reverse Kullback–
Leibler divergence for any practically invertible normalizing flow. The resulting path-gradient …

Machine learning of thermodynamic observables in the presence of mode collapse

KA Nicoli, C Anders, L Funcke, T Hartung… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
Estimating the free energy, as well as other thermodynamic observables, is a key task in
lattice field theories. Recently, it has been pointed out that deep generative models can be …
