Normalizing flows achieve exact density estimation through invertible transformations, and the target density is computed by the change-of-variables formula p_K(x) = p_0(f^{-1}(x)) ∏|det ∇f_k^{-1}(x)|; their advantage is that the log-likelihood can be computed exactly, but the cost is that each layer's transformation must satisfy the two constraints of invertibility and an easily computable Jacobian determinant, which severely limits model expressiveness.

VerifiedNormalizing flows can use the change-of-variables formula to exactly compute the log-likelihood of data through invertible transformations, enabling precise density estimation rather than approximate inference.77% similarUnverifiedNormalizing flows achieve exact density computation through invertible transformations, while energy-based models implicitly define distributions through unnormalized energy functions.75% similarUnverifiedThe core driving force of the reverse process in diffusion models is the Score function, i.e., the log-density gradient ∇x log p(x), which points in the direction of the steepest increase in probability density.73% similarUnverifiedNormalizing flows are a class of deep generative models that construct complex probability distributions by stacking invertible, differentiable transformations, and express densities using the change-of-variables formula combined with the Jacobian determinant.72% similarUnverifiedTraditional Langevin dynamics relies on gradient information of the target distribution's density function and performs well when the density function is smooth and differentiable.72% similar
