Conditional Probability Estimation

An online journal club on the topics Conditional Probability Estimation. Our cover topics on all sorts of probabilistic approach, such as VAE, normalizing, graph neural network, probabilistic time series forecasting.

Introduction: Conditional Probability Estimation

8 MAF: how is MADE being used

Published:
Tags:
Summary: We discussed MAF (arXiv:1705.07057v4) last time: The paper did not explain how exactly is MADE being used to update the shift and logscale. We will use the tensorflow implementation of MAF to probe the above question.
