Model-Based and Sample-Efficient AI-Assisted Math Discovery in Sphere Packing

Rasul Tutunov, Alexandre Maraval, Antoine Grosnit +3

Sphere packing, Hilbert's eighteenth problem, asks for the densest arrangement of congruent spheres in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Although relevant to areas such as cryptograph…

Efficient Semi-Implicit Variational Inference

Vincent Moens, Hang Ren, Alexandre Maraval +3

In this paper, we propose CI-VI an efficient and scalable solver for semi-implicit variational inference (SIVI). Our method, first, maps SIVI's evidence lower bound (ELBO) to a for…

End-to-End Meta-Bayesian Optimisation with Transformer Neural Processes

Alexandre Maraval, Matthieu Zimmer, Antoine Grosnit +1

Meta-Bayesian optimisation (meta-BO) aims to improve the sample efficiency of Bayesian optimisation by leveraging data from related tasks. While previous methods successfully meta-…
