Agentic Monte Carlo: Simulating Reinforcement Learning for Black-Box Agents
Dae Yon Hwang, Raunaq Suri, Valentin Villecroze +4
LLM agents operate in two distinct regimes: open-weight agents amenable to reinforcement learning (RL) and black-box agents whose behaviour must be controlled purely at test time.…
Textual Bayes: Quantifying Prompt Uncertainty in LLM-Based Systems
Brendan Leigh Ross, Noël Vouitsis, Atiyeh Ashari Ghomi +8
Although large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly capable of solving challenging real-world tasks, accurately quantifying their uncertainty remains a critical open pr…
Inconsistencies In Consistency Models: Better ODE Solving Does Not Imply Better Samples
Noël Vouitsis, Rasa Hosseinzadeh, Brendan Leigh Ross +4
Although diffusion models can generate remarkably high-quality samples, they are intrinsically bottlenecked by their expensive iterative sampling procedure. Consistency models (CMs…
A Geometric View of Data Complexity: Efficient Local Intrinsic Dimension Estimation with Diffusion Models
Hamidreza Kamkari, Brendan Leigh Ross, Rasa Hosseinzadeh +2
High-dimensional data commonly lies on low-dimensional submanifolds, and estimating the local intrinsic dimension (LID) of a datum -- i.e. the dimension of the submanifold it belon…
Deep Generative Models through the Lens of the Manifold Hypothesis: A Survey and New Connections
Gabriel Loaiza-Ganem, Brendan Leigh Ross, Rasa Hosseinzadeh +2
In recent years there has been increased interest in understanding the interplay between deep generative models (DGMs) and the manifold hypothesis. Research in this area focuses on…
A Geometric Explanation of the Likelihood OOD Detection Paradox
Hamidreza Kamkari, Brendan Leigh Ross, Jesse C. Cresswell +3
Likelihood-based deep generative models (DGMs) commonly exhibit a puzzling behaviour: when trained on a relatively complex dataset, they assign higher likelihood values to out-of-d…
Exposing flaws of generative model evaluation metrics and their unfair treatment of diffusion models
George Stein, Jesse C. Cresswell, Rasa Hosseinzadeh +7
We systematically study a wide variety of generative models spanning semantically-diverse image datasets to understand and improve the feature extractors and metrics used to evalua…
Denoising Deep Generative Models
Gabriel Loaiza-Ganem, Brendan Leigh Ross, Luhuan Wu +3
Likelihood-based deep generative models have recently been shown to exhibit pathological behaviour under the manifold hypothesis as a consequence of using high-dimensional densitie…
Find Your Friends: Personalized Federated Learning with the Right Collaborators
Yi Sui, Junfeng Wen, Yenson Lau +2
In the traditional federated learning setting, a central server coordinates a network of clients to train one global model. However, the global model may serve many clients poorly…
