Vendi Information Gain for Active Learning and its Application to Ecology
Quan Nguyen, Adji Bousso Dieng
While monitoring biodiversity through camera traps has become an important endeavor for ecological research, identifying species in the captured image data remains a major bottlene…
Alternators With Noise Models
Mohammad R. Rezaei, Adji Bousso Dieng
Alternators have recently been introduced as a framework for modeling time-dependent data. They often outperform other popular frameworks, such as state-space models and diffusion…
Vendi Information Gain: An Alternative To Mutual Information For Science And Machine Learning
Quan Nguyen, Adji Bousso Dieng
In his 1948 seminal paper A Mathematical Theory of Communication that birthed information theory, Claude Shannon introduced mutual information (MI), which he called "rate of transm…
The Alpha-Alternator: Dynamic Adaptation To Varying Noise Levels In Sequences Using The Vendi Score For Improved Robustness and Performance
Mohammad Reza Rezaei, Adji Bousso Dieng
Current state-of-the-art dynamical models, such as Mamba, assume the same level of noisiness for all elements of a given sequence, which limits their performance on noisy temporal…
Beyond Aesthetics: Cultural Competence in Text-to-Image Models
Nithish Kannen, Arif Ahmad, Marco Andreetto +5
Text-to-Image (T2I) models are being increasingly adopted in diverse global communities where they create visual representations of their unique cultures. Current T2I benchmarks pr…
Constraint-Aware Diffusion Models for Trajectory Optimization
Anjian Li, Zihan Ding, Adji Bousso Dieng +1
The diffusion model has shown success in generating high-quality and diverse solutions to trajectory optimization problems. However, diffusion models with neural networks inevitabl…
