In this paper, researchers introduce Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets), a novel learning paradigm for sampling from unnormalized probability distributions, called reward functions. GFlowNets learn policies on constructed graphs to approximate target distributions through successive steps of sampling. This framework can be trained with various objectives, aiming to discern intricate patterns and generalize effectively to unseen parts of the reward function. The study formalizes generalization in GFlowNets, linking it to stability, and designs experiments to assess their capacity for length generalization.

GFlowNets are a new way to learn from big data that helps computers understand complex patterns. They’re like a super smart graph that can sample from really tricky probability distributions. This is important because it could help us discover new things in the world, like finding patterns in medical data or understanding how people behave online. The paper wants to figure out how well GFlowNets work at learning and generalizing, which means being able to apply what they’ve learned to new situations.
