Indeed, additionally If computing the forces in HMC is computationally cheap - it's extremely hard to beat it with learnt samplers in terms of wall clock time. Similar challenge to Neural PDE solvers.

Should cite Newton first 😂

Very nice results!

Just use github

As a statistical inequality hoarder, I approve 😅

What do you mean by physical? Eg If the target density lives on a specific manifold, RFs will generally not respect that naively (eg think of data living on a torus). One would have to choose paths along geodesics for example and then properly integrate the flow on the manifold.

Yes, though a simplification is that the log-det-jac is the integral of the divergence. So "just" need to solve a 1d integral.

You can, just need to integrate it's divergence to get the likelihood.

What do you mean? That's the whole field of optimisation (preconditioning, proximal, natural, etc...)

I have quite a few of those 😅

For the theoretical side, there’s no better resource than the 2024 book by Blondel and Roulet:

For the practical side, my friend @willtebbutt.bsky.social wrote stellar documentation explaining autodiff with mutation:
