Estimating the data density is one of the challenging problems in deep learning. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective method for estimating the data density using a deep neural network and the Donsker-Varadhan variational lower bound on the KL divergence. We show that the optimal critic function associated with the Donsker-Varadhan representation on the KL divergence between the data and the uniform distribution can estimate the data density. We also present the deep neural network-based modeling and its stochastic learning. The experimental results and possible applications of the proposed method demonstrate that it is competitive with the previous methods and has a lot of possibilities in applied to various applications.

  1. NMINE: Normalized Mutual Information Neural Estimation

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A fully neural estimator for normalized mutual information beats a KSG baseline on Gaussian data but fails to deliver its advertised scale-invariance property.

  2. Skill Learning via Policy Diversity Yields Identifiable Representations for Reinforcement Learning

    cs.LG 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Contrastive Successor Features recover ground-truth RL states up to a linear map whenever the skill-conditioned transition differences follow a von Mises-Fisher distribution and policies are diverse.
