Activation Functions, Statistics and Learning of Higher-Order Interactions in Restricted Boltzmann Machines

arXiv:2605. 19178v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The great success of neural networks primarily arises from the presence of the large number of weight parameters combined with nonlinearities in the input-output relationship of single neurons.

Weak Adversarial Neural Pushforward Method for Boltzmann Equation

arXiv:2608. 06823v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we extend a weak adversary neural network pushforward method for solving time dependent Boltzmann equation and a weak formulation of the collision operator is proposed where an invertible neural pushforward mapping is used to generating samples given by the distribution governed by the Boltzmann equation.

Nonlocal Transition Kernel for Efficient Learning of Restricted Boltzmann Machines

The paper introduces a new transition kernel for Restricted Boltzmann Machines that operates over the sequence of models used in Deep Tempering. This kernel employs a round‑trip structure, allowing nonlocal moves in a single transition while keeping the RBM sequence unchanged. Experiments demonstrate that it achieves higher sampling quality with fewer transitions than both blocked Gibbs sampling and Deep Tempering, and it stabilizes learning by reducing training failures.
