Learning about an exponential amount of conditional distributions
Mohamed Ishmael Belghazi, Maxime Oquab, Yann Lecun, David Lopez-Paz
We introduce the Neural Conditioner (NC), a self-supervised machine able to learn about all the conditional distributions of a random vector X. The NC is a function NC(x ·a, a, r) that leverages adversarial training to match each conditional distribution P(Xᵣ|Xₐ=xₐ). After training, the NC generalizes to sample from conditional distributions never seen, including the joint distribution. The NC is also able to auto-encode examples, providing data representations useful for downstream classification tasks. In sum, the NC integrates different self-supervised tasks (each being the estimation of a conditional distribution) and levels of supervision (partially observed data) seamlessly into a single learning experience.
