Log-Distributional Approach for Learning Covariate Shift Ratios

Distributional Reinforcement Learning theory suggests that distributional fixed points could play a fundamental role to learning non additive value functions. In particular, we propose a distributional approach for learning Covariate Shift Ratios, whose update rule is originally multiplicative

Generating Multi-Categorical Samples with Generative Adversarial Networks

We propose a method to train generative adversarial networks on mutivariate feature vectors representing multiple categorical values. In contrast to the continuous domain, where GAN-based methods have delivered considerable results, GANs struggle to perform equally well on discrete data. We propose and compare several architectures based on multiple (Gumbel) softmax output layers taking into account the structure of the data. We evaluate the performance of our architecture on datasets with different sparsity, number of features, ranges of categorical values, and dependencies among the features. Our proposed architecture and method outperforms existing models
