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…

Your Image is Secretly the Last Frame of a Pseudo Video

Wenlong Chen, Wenlin Chen, Lapo Rastrelli +1

Diffusion models, which can be viewed as a special case of hierarchical variational autoencoders (HVAEs), have shown profound success in generating photo-realistic images. In contr…

Leveraging Task Structures for Improved Identifiability in Neural Network Representations

Wenlin Chen, Julien Horwood, Juyeon Heo +1

This work extends the theory of identifiability in supervised learning by considering the consequences of having access to a distribution of tasks. In such cases, we show that line…

Meta-learning Adaptive Deep Kernel Gaussian Processes for Molecular Property Prediction

Wenlin Chen, Austin Tripp, José Miguel Hernández-Lobato

We propose Adaptive Deep Kernel Fitting with Implicit Function Theorem (ADKF-IFT), a novel framework for learning deep kernel Gaussian processes (GPs) by interpolating between meta…

To Ensemble or Not Ensemble: When does End-To-End Training Fail?

Andrew M. Webb, Charles Reynolds, Wenlin Chen +4

End-to-End training (E2E) is becoming more and more popular to train complex Deep Network architectures. An interesting question is whether this trend will continue-are there any c…
