Gaussian Flow-Matching Schedules: Implications for Sampling and Training

Arsène Claustre, Hugo Negrel, Claire Boyer +2

Flow-matching schedules affect both sampling dynamics and the variance of the regression target. For centered commuting Gaussians, we show that a direction-dependent schedule decom…

Balanced LoRA: Removing Parameter Invariance to Accelerate Convergence

Valérie Castin, Kimia Nadjahi, Pierre Ablin +1

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is the most widely adopted method for fine-tuning large language models. Notably, LoRA is inherently overparameterized: multiple pairs of low-rank factor…

Expected Batch Optimal Transport Plans and Consequences for Flow Matching

Samuel Boïté, Julie Delon, Kimia Nadjahi

Solving optimal transport (OT) on random minibatches is a common surrogate for exact OT in large-scale learning. In flow matching (FM), this surrogate is used to obtain OT-like cou…

Convergence Rates for Distribution Matching with Sliced Optimal Transport

Gauthier Thurin, Claire Boyer, Kimia Nadjahi

We study the slice-matching scheme, an efficient iterative method for distribution matching based on sliced optimal transport. We investigate convergence to the target distribution…

Tighter CMI-Based Generalization Bounds via Stochastic Projection and Quantization

Milad Sefidgaran, Kimia Nadjahi, Abdellatif Zaidi

In this paper, we leverage stochastic projection and lossy compression to establish new conditional mutual information (CMI) bounds on the generalization error of statistical learn…

Asymmetry in Low-Rank Adapters of Foundation Models

Jiacheng Zhu, Kristjan Greenewald, Kimia Nadjahi +6

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning optimizes large, pre-trained foundation models by updating a subset of parameters; in this class, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is particularly effecti…

Federated Wasserstein Distance

Alain Rakotomamonjy, Kimia Nadjahi, Liva Ralaivola

We introduce a principled way of computing the Wasserstein distance between two distributions in a federated manner. Namely, we show how to estimate the Wasserstein distance betwee…
