Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training an image generation model. The image generation model comprises an argmax transformation configured to compute a discrete index feature indicating an index of a feature of the continuous feature vector with an extreme value. The image generation model is trained using a log-likelihood optimization. This involves obtaining a value of the index feature for the training image, sampling values of the continuous feature vector given the value of the index feature according to a stochastic inverse transformation of the argmax transformation, and determining a likelihood contribution of the argmax transformation for the log-likelihood based on a probability that the stochastic inverse transformation generates the values of the continuous feature vector given the value of the index feature.
