Exact Global MCMC with Denoising Diffusion

Mitch Hill

This work shows that diffusion models learned with standard denoising loss can provide effective global MCMC proposals for complex high-dimensional target densities. The method is…

Memory Efficient Full-gradient Attacks (MEFA) Framework for Adversarial Defense Evaluations

Yuan Du, Mitchel Hill, HanQin Cai

This work studies the robust evaluation of iterative stochastic purification defenses under white-box adversarial attacks. Our key technical insight is that gradient checkpointing…

Learning Probabilistic Models from Generator Latent Spaces with Hat EBM

Mitch Hill, Erik Nijkamp, Jonathan Mitchell +2

This work proposes a method for using any generator network as the foundation of an Energy-Based Model (EBM). Our formulation posits that observed images are the sum of unobserved…

EBM Life Cycle: MCMC Strategies for Synthesis, Defense, and Density Modeling

Mitch Hill, Jonathan Mitchell, Chu Chen +3

This work presents strategies to learn an Energy-Based Model (EBM) according to the desired length of its MCMC sampling trajectories. MCMC trajectories of different lengths corresp…

Learning Non-Convergent Non-Persistent Short-Run MCMC Toward Energy-Based Model

Erik Nijkamp, Mitch Hill, Song-Chun Zhu +1

This paper studies a curious phenomenon in learning energy-based model (EBM) using MCMC. In each learning iteration, we generate synthesized examples by running a non-convergent, n…
