Energy-based models (EBMs) are a powerful class of probabilistic generative models.Variational Potential Flow Bayes (VPFB) is a new energy-based generative framework that eliminates the need for implicit MCMC sampling.VPFB learns an energy-parameterized potential flow by matching a flow-driven density homotopy to the data distribution.Experimental results show that VPFB performs competitively with existing approaches in terms of sample quality and versatility.
