Variational Autoencoders with Jointly Optimized Latent Dependency Structure

This is a PyTorch implementation of "Variational Autoencoders with Jointly Optimized Latent Dependency Structure" which appeared in ICLR '19.

Initial setup

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ys1998/vae-latent-structure.git
cd vae-latent-structure/

Ensure that the requirements mentioned here are met.

Usage

# train
python train.py --config config.json
# resume from checkpoint
python train.py --resume <path_to_checkpoint>
# using multiple GPUs (equivalent to "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3 python train.py -c config.py")
python train.py --device 2,3 -c config.json 
# test
python test.py --resume <path_to_checkpoint>
# visualization
tensorboard --logdir <path_to_log_dir>

Code description

You can find a detailed description of the folder structure here. The code is distributed across several branches, as described below

master: original implementation (GraphVAE)
LSTM: replacing top-down inference using a recurrent network (GraphLSTMVAE)
vrnn: extension of GraphVAE to sequential data (RecurrentGraphVAE)

All models have been described in the model folder in the respective branch. Please look at our report for more details on our variants and results.

Configuration

All config files are specified in JSON format as described here. Model-specific parameters/options are provided via the arch field. The config.json files in each branch already contain default parameters for the respective model.
