DRIFT: Disentangled Responsive-Invariant Flow Transport for Single-Cell Perturbation Prediction
Mustapha Bounoua, Giulio Franzese, Pietro Michiardi
Predicting cellular responses to perturbations is a central problem in cellular biology, with broad applications in systems biology and drug discovery. This task is challenging bec…
ALICE: In-context, Zero-shot, Mutual Information Estimation
Giulio Franzese, Simone Rossi, Pietro Michiardi
Estimating mutual information (MI) from samples is a central objective in a variety of scientific fields. Modern neural estimators are accurate in the large-data regime, but they f…
DIPHINE: Diffusion-based -ID Neural Estimator
Simon Pedro Galeano Munoz, Mustapha Bounoua, Giulio Franzese +2
Uncovering the true informational architecture of real-world complex systems requires disentangling how their components uniquely store, redundantly share, and synergistically inte…
Towards Diverse and Comprehensive Benchmarks for Mutual Information Estimation
Alberto Foresti, Ivan Butakov, Alexander Tolmachev +3
Mutual information (MI) estimation is a central problem in machine learning and statistics; however, existing benchmarks typically evaluate estimators on simplified, low-dimensiona…
DrivingVoxels: Compositional Sparse Voxel Rasterization for Dynamic Driving Scene Reconstruction
Tania Aguirre, Luis Roldão, Moussab Bennehar +4
Reconstructing dynamic urban scenes remains challenging due to the unbounded nature of driving environments and the presence of multiple dynamic objects. Currently, potentially fas…
Relative Entropy Estimation in Function Space: Theory and Applications to Trajectory Inference
Chao Wang, Luca Nepote, Giulio Franzese +1
Trajectory Inference (TI) seeks to recover latent dynamical processes from snapshot data, where only independent samples from time-indexed marginals are observed. In applications s…
Improved Sampling Schedules for Discrete Diffusion Models
Alberto Foresti, Mustapha Bounoua, Giulio Franzese +2
Discrete diffusion models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for generative modeling on sequence data; however, the information-theoretic principles governing their reverse proces…
TENDE: Transfer Entropy Neural Diffusion Estimation
Simon Pedro Galeano Munoz, Mustapha Bounoua, Giulio Franzese +2
Transfer entropy measures directed information flow in time series, and it has become a fundamental quantity in applications spanning neuroscience, finance, and complex systems ana…
RFMI: Estimating Mutual Information on Rectified Flow for Text-to-Image Alignment
Chao Wang, Giulio Franzese, Alessandro Finamore +1
Rectified Flow (RF) models trained with a Flow matching framework have achieved state-of-the-art performance on Text-to-Image (T2I) conditional generation. Yet, multiple benchmarks…
Learning to Match Unpaired Data with Minimum Entropy Coupling
Mustapha Bounoua, Giulio Franzese, Pietro Michiardi
Multimodal data is a precious asset enabling a variety of downstream tasks in machine learning. However, real-world data collected across different modalities is often not paired,…
INFO-SEDD: Continuous Time Markov Chains as Scalable Information Metrics Estimators
Alberto Foresti, Giulio Franzese, Pietro Michiardi
Information-theoretic quantities play a crucial role in understanding non-linear relationships between random variables and are widely used across scientific disciplines. However,…
In Praise of Stubbornness: An Empirical Case for Cognitive-Dissonance Aware Continual Update of Knowledge in LLMs
Simone Clemente, Zied Ben Houidi, Alexis Huet +3
Through systematic empirical investigation, we uncover a fundamental and concerning property of Large Language Models: while they can safely learn facts that don't contradict their…
Latent Abstractions in Generative Diffusion Models
Giulio Franzese, Mattia Martini, Giulio Corallo +2
In this work we study how diffusion-based generative models produce high-dimensional data, such as an image, by implicitly relying on a manifestation of a low-dimensional set of la…
Information Theoretic Text-to-Image Alignment
Chao Wang, Giulio Franzese, Alessandro Finamore +2
Diffusion models for Text-to-Image (T2I) conditional generation have recently achieved tremendous success. Yet, aligning these models with user's intentions still involves a labori…
SI: Score-based O-INFORMATION Estimation
Mustapha Bounoua, Giulio Franzese, Pietro Michiardi
The analysis of scientific data and complex multivariate systems requires information quantities that capture relationships among multiple random variables. Recently, new informati…
