Information-Geometric Forward Policy Training in GFlowNets

arXiv:2608. 03967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) have emerged as a flexible framework for amortised inference over discrete and mixed discrete-continuous objects, requiring only an unnormalised target density specified through a reward.
