Conditional computation in neural networks for faster models

E Bengio, PL Bacon, J Pineau, D Precup - arXiv preprint arXiv:1511.06297, 2015 - arxiv.org
Deep learning has become the state-of-art tool in many applications, but the evaluation and
training of deep models can be time-consuming and computationally expensive. The …

[PDF][PDF] Gflownet foundations

Y Bengio, S Lahlou, T Deleu, EJ Hu, M Tiwari… - Journal of Machine …, 2023 - jmlr.org
Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) have been introduced as a method to sample a diverse
