Comparing SGLD and a fixed-noise predictor-corrector adaptation in canonical joint energy-based models on CIFAR-10
Joint Energy-Based Models (JEM) unify classification and generation within a single network and support out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. Canonical JEM training relies on stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics (SGLD); a theoretically motivated alternative, the Predictor-Corrector (PC) sampler, has not previously undergone a systematic replication test on the canonical model. We reproduce canonical JEM on WideResNet-28-10 without normalisation layers on two independent runs and test a fixed-noise PC adaptation - with the degenerate annealed-noise predictor replaced by a deterministic gradient step - across three protocols: the adapted sampler replacing SGLD throughout the full training t...
