Description
The expressive power of neural networks in modeling complex distributions is desirable to bypass topological freezing and critical slowing down in simulations of lattice field theory. Some approaches suffer from problems with topology, which may lead to some classes of configurations not being generated. In this talk, I will present a novel generative approach inspired by a model previously introduced in the ML community (GFlowNets) and simulate triple ring models and lattice $\phi^4$ model to demonstrate the capabilities of the method to solve issues connected with ergodicity.
