All of the questions posed in Table 1in the main paper can be decomposed into readily available components that our modelpθ can estimate. Q1 P (X1) is already naturally in a form that our model can directly estimate due to the autoregressive factorization imposed by the architecture:p θ(X1). Q3 The "hitting time" or the next occurrence of a specific event typea V is defined asτ(a). Interestingly, we can see thatQ3 is a generalization ofQ2 by noting that they are identical when A={}. In practice, computing this exactly is intractable due to it being an infinite sum.
