A theory of continuous generative flow networks
Generative flow networks (GFlowNets) are amortized variational inference
algorithms that are trained to sample from unnormalized target distributions
over compositional objects. A key limitation of GFlowNets until this time has
been that they are restricted to discrete spaces. We present a theory for
generalized GFlowNets, which encompasses both existing discrete GFlowNets and
ones with continuous or hybrid state spaces, and perform experiments with two
goals in mind. First, we illustrate critical points of the theory and the
importance of various assumptions. Second, we empirically demonstrate how
observations about discrete GFlowNets transfer to the continuous case and show
strong results compared to non-GFlowNet baselines on several previously studied
tasks. This work greatly widens the perspectives for the application of
GFlowNets in probabilistic inference and various modeling settings.
