Gradient-Guided Importance Sampling for Learning Binary Energy-Based Models

This is the official implementation of the RMwGGIS method proposed in the following paper.

Meng Liu, Haoran Liu, and Shuiwang Ji. "Gradient-Guided Importance Sampling for Learning Binary Energy-Based Models". [ICLR 2023]

Visualization of learned energy functions on 32-dimensional synthetic discrete datasets.

There is an implementation from the community as well.

Requirements

We include key dependencies below.

• PyTorch
• tqdm
• sympy
• distutils

Run

To run the experiments on synthetic discrete data, please refer to the commands in run.sh.
