DESCRIPTION:Title: Assisting Sampling with Learning: Adaptive Monte Carlo
  with Normalizing Flows\n\nAbstract: In many applications in computationa
 l sciences and statistical inference\, one seeks to compute expectations o
 n complex high-dimensional distributions. These problems are often plagued
  by multi-modality/metastability\; slow relaxation between unconnected mod
 es leads to slow convergence of estimators of such expectations. In this t
 alk\, I will present a strategy to enhance sampling with deep generative m
 odels called Normalizing Flows. We will see when simultaneously sampling a
 nd training can incur a drastic acceleration of MCMC convergence and discu
 ss current limits in learning for sampling.\n\nThis is joint work with Gra
 nt Rotskoff (Stanford) and Eric Vanden-Eijnden (Courant Institute\, NYU).\
