Systems and Methods for Modeling Probability Distributions

Systems and methods for modeling complex probability distributions are described. One embodiment includes a method for training a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), wherein the method includes generating, from a first set of visible values, a set of hidden values in a hidden layer of a RBM and generating a second set of visible values in a visible layer of the RBM based on the generated set of hidden values. The method includes computing a set of likelihood gradients based on the first set of visible values and the generated set of visible values, computing a set of adversarial gradients using an adversarial model based on at least one of the set of hidden values and the set of visible values, computing a set of compound gradients based on the set of likelihood gradients and the set of adversarial gradients, and updating the RBM based on the set of compound gradients.
