Gradient estimators for normalising flows
Piotr Bialas, Piotr Korcyl, Tomasz Stebel · 2022-02-03 · via stat.ML updates on arXiv.org

Recently a machine learning approach to Monte-Carlo simulations called Neural Markov Chain Monte-Carlo (NMCMC) is gaining traction. In its most popular form it uses neural networks to construct normalizing flows which are then trained to approximate the desired target distribution. In this contribution we present new gradient estimator for Stochastic Gradient Descent algorithm (and the corresponding \texttt{PyTorch} implementation) and show that it leads to better training results for $φ^4$ model. For this model our estimator achieves the same precision in approximately half of the time needed in standard approach and ultimately provides better estimates of the free energy. We attribute this effect to the lower variance of the new estimator. In contrary to the standard learning algorithm our approach does not require estimation of the action gradient with respect to the fields, thus has potential of further speeding up the training for models with more complicated actions.
