In this paper, we study deep generative models for effective unsupervised learning. We propose VGAN, which works by minimizing a variational lower bound of the negative log likelihood (NLL) of an energy based model (EBM), where the model density p(x) is approximated by a variational distribution q(x) that is easy to sample from. The training of VGAN takes a two step procedure: given p(x), q(x) ...

IS THE PLANET SHRINKING as a result of technological advancement, or are we simply affirming how small it has always been? Is a society that is plugged in to computers being rendered incapable of escape from day-to-day responsibility, or are we gaining a newfound freedom to reintegrate the various components of our lives? When considering these questions, the importance of wild places is height...

the object of this paper is to establish certain generalized fractional integration and differentiation involving generalized mittag-leffler function defined by salim and faraj [25]. the considered generalized fractional calculus operators contain the appell's function $f_3$ [2, p.224] as kernel and are introduced by saigo and maeda [23]. the marichev-saigo-maeda fractional calculus operat...
