Learning Multi-layer Latent Variable Model via Variational Optimization of Short Run MCMC for Approximate Inference

Erik Nijkamp, Bo Pang, Tian Han +3

This paper studies the fundamental problem of learning deep generative models that consist of multiple layers of latent variables organized in top-down architectures. Such models h…

Personalized Preference Fine-tuning of Diffusion Models

Meihua Dang, Anikait Singh, Linqi Zhou +2

RLHF techniques like DPO can significantly improve the generation quality of text-to-image diffusion models. However, these methods optimize for a single reward that aligns model g…

Curious Replay for Model-based Adaptation

Isaac Kauvar, Chris Doyle, Linqi Zhou +1

Agents must be able to adapt quickly as an environment changes. We find that existing model-based reinforcement learning agents are unable to do this well, in part because of how t…
