This is the official code for the ICLR 2021 paper "Generalized Multimodal ELBO". Here is the link to the OpenReview-Site: https://openreview.net/forum?id=5Y21V0RDBV

If you have any questions about the code or the paper, we are happy to help!

This code was developed and tested with:

• Python version 3.5.6
• PyTorch version 1.4.0
• CUDA version 11.0
• The conda environment defined in environment.yml

First, set up the conda enviroment as follows:

conda env create -f environment.yml  # create conda env
conda activate mopoe                 # activate conda env

Second, download the data, inception network, and pretrained classifiers:

curl -L -o tmp.zip https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lx8669lyok9ois6/AADmH2Q6T_iIlRg2Hp-R_Clca\?dl\=1
unzip tmp.zip
unzip celeba_data.zip -d data/
unzip data_mnistsvhntext.zip -d data/
unzip PolyMNIST.zip -d data/

Experiments can be started by running the respective job_* script. To choose between running the MVAE, MMVAE, and MoPoE-VAE, one needs to change the script's METHOD variabe to "poe", "moe", or "joint_elbo" respectively. By default, each experiment uses METHOD="joint_elbo".

./job_mnistsvhntext

./job_polymnist

./job_celeba
