A graphical model or probabilistic graphical model (PGM) or structured probabilistic model is a probabilistic model for which a graph expresses the conditional dependence structure between random variables. They are commonly used in probability theory, statistics—particularly Bayesian statistics—and machine learning. (Wikipedia)
Therefore, in this paper, we study the occurring challenges for co-generation with GANs. To address those challenges we develop an annealed importance sampling based Hamiltonian Monte Carlo co-generation algorithm.
Structured prediction energy networks (SPENs) (Belanger & McCallum, 2016) are a type of energy-based model (LeCun et al., 2006) in which inference is done by gradient descent.
