What is recorded here?
Used triangular autoregressive transforms to enrich variational posteriors and construct flexible density estimators, exploiting complementary fast directions in IAF and MAF.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Two related original contributions with separate bylines. IAF supports parallel sampling and density evaluation for its own tracked samples, not fast inversion for every externally given point; MAF supports fast density evaluation but dimension-sequential sampling. A triangular Jacobian does not remove this direction-dependent cost.
