Towards Diverse Scientific Hypothesis Search with Large Language Models
Haorui Wang, Parshin Shojaee, Kazem Meidani +7
Large language models (LLMs) are on the rise for accelerating scientific discovery, most recently in advanced tasks such as generating valid scientific hypotheses. Yet in many disc…
Training-Free Vector Quantization via Gaussian VAEs
Tongda Xu, Wendi Zheng, Jiajun He +4
Vector-quantized variational autoencoders (VQ-VAEs) are discrete autoencoders that compress images into discrete tokens. However, they are difficult to train due to discretization.…
Compression as Adaptation: Implicit Visual Representation with Diffusion Foundation Models
Zongyu Guo, Jiajun He, Zhaoyang Jia +6
Modern visual generative models acquire rich visual knowledge through large-scale training, yet existing visual representations (such as pixels, latents, or tokens) remain external…
RNE: plug-and-play diffusion inference-time control and energy-based training
Jiajun He, José Miguel Hernández-Lobato, Yuanqi Du +1
Diffusion models generate data by removing noise gradually, which corresponds to the time-reversal of a noising process. However, access to only the denoising kernels is often insu…
CREPE: Controlling Diffusion with Replica Exchange
Jiajun He, Paul Jeha, Peter Potaptchik +5
Inference-time control of diffusion models aims to steer model outputs to satisfy new constraints without retraining. Previous approaches have mostly relied on heuristic guidance o…
DiffRatio: Training One-Step Diffusion Models Without Teacher Supervision
Wenlin Chen, Mingtian Zhang, Jiajun He +4
Score-based distillation methods (e.g., variational score distillation) train one-step diffusion models by first pre-training a teacher score model and then distilling it into a on…
