Abstract: Normalizing Flow s are a class of generative model which have been growing in popularity re cently. NFs are a highly expressive form of generative model which allow f or efficient sampling\, exact likelihood computation and are quickly becom ing competitive with GANs. This talk will provide a brief review of NFs an d present a selection of results from my group on both theoretical aspects of flows and their practical application. In particular\, I will: show th eoretical results around the tail behavior of typical NF architectures\; s how an application of… DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20210427T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20210427T130000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210406T222738Z LOCATION:Please register to receive the Zoom link SUMMARY:Normalizing Flows in Theory and Practice - Marcus Brubaker\, Assist ant Professor\, York University\; Faculty Affiliate\, Vector Institute TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://caida.ubc.ca/index.php/event/normalizing-flows-theory-and-pract ice-marcus-brubaker-assistant-professor-york-university END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
