Learning from Partial Chain-of-Thought via Truncated-Reasoning Self-Distillation

Gianluigi Silvestri, Edoardo Cetin

Reasoning-oriented language models achieve strong performance by generating long chain-of-thought traces at inference time. However, this capability comes with substantial and ofte…

CoVAE: Consistency Training of Variational Autoencoders

Gianluigi Silvestri, Luca Ambrogioni

Current state-of-the-art generative approaches frequently rely on a two-stage training procedure, where an autoencoder (often a VAE) first performs dimensionality reduction, follow…

VCT: Training Consistency Models with Variational Noise Coupling

Gianluigi Silvestri, Luca Ambrogioni, Chieh-Hsin Lai +2

Consistency Training (CT) has recently emerged as a strong alternative to diffusion models for image generation. However, non-distillation CT often suffers from high variance and i…

Losing dimensions: Geometric memorization in generative diffusion

Beatrice Achilli, Enrico Ventura, Gianluigi Silvestri +5

Diffusion models power leading generative AI, but when and how they memorize training data, especially on low-dimensional manifolds, remains unclear. We find memorization emerges g…

Manifolds, Random Matrices and Spectral Gaps: The geometric phases of generative diffusion

Enrico Ventura, Beatrice Achilli, Gianluigi Silvestri +2

In this paper, we investigate the latent geometry of generative diffusion models under the manifold hypothesis. For this purpose, we analyze the spectrum of eigenvalues (and singul…

Reinforcement Learning of Adaptive Acquisition Policies for Inverse Problems

Gianluigi Silvestri, Fabio Valerio Massoli, Tribhuvanesh Orekondy +2

A promising way to mitigate the expensive process of obtaining a high-dimensional signal is to acquire a limited number of low-dimensional measurements and solve an under-determine…

Deterministic training of generative autoencoders using invertible layers

Gianluigi Silvestri, Daan Roos, Luca Ambrogioni

In this work, we provide a deterministic alternative to the stochastic variational training of generative autoencoders. We refer to these new generative autoencoders as AutoEncoder…

Embedded-model flows: Combining the inductive biases of model-free deep learning and explicit probabilistic modeling

Gianluigi Silvestri, Emily Fertig, Dave Moore +1

Normalizing flows have shown great success as general-purpose density estimators. However, many real world applications require the use of domain-specific knowledge, which normaliz…

Automatic variational inference with cascading flows

Luca Ambrogioni, Gianluigi Silvestri, Marcel van Gerven

The automation of probabilistic reasoning is one of the primary aims of machine learning. Recently, the confluence of variational inference and deep learning has led to powerful an…
