Iterative Distillation for Reward-Guided Fine-Tuning of Diffusion Models in Biomolecular Design

Xingyu Su, Xiner Li, Masatoshi Uehara +7

We address the problem of fine-tuning diffusion models for reward-guided generation in biomolecular design. While diffusion models have proven highly effective in modeling complex,…

Bridging Model-Based Optimization and Generative Modeling via Conservative Fine-Tuning of Diffusion Models

Masatoshi Uehara, Yulai Zhao, Ehsan Hajiramezanali +5

AI-driven design problems, such as DNA/protein sequence design, are commonly tackled from two angles: generative modeling, which efficiently captures the feasible design space (e.g…
