Corpus-guided sampling makes generative outputs more diverse and representative

Mine-Sample-Render extracts attributes from reference data, samples their joint distribution, then conditions existing models on the resulting configurations.

Triaridis, Sharp and Jojic present Mine-Sample-Render (MSR), a training-free method for aligning the diversity of generated outputs with a reference corpus.

MSR separates generation into three stages.

Why this paper

From Microsoft and Stony Brook University

In one line

Generative models over-concentrate samples; Mine-Sample-Render samples interpretable attribute configurations from a real-data corpus and uses the model as a conditional renderer.
