At the Edge of Understanding: Sparse Autoencoders Trace The Limits of Transformer Generalization

Praneet Suresh, Jack Stanley, Sonia Joseph +2

Pre-trained transformers have demonstrated remarkable generalization abilities, at times extending beyond the scope of their training data. Yet, real-world deployments often face u…

HRM-Text: Efficient Pretraining Beyond Scaling

Guan Wang, Changling Liu, Chenyu Wang +6

The current pretraining paradigm for large language models relies on massive compute and internet-scale raw text, creating a significant barrier to foundational research. In contra…

Learning What Matters: Steering Diffusion via Spectrally Anisotropic Forward Noise

Luca Scimeca, Thomas Jiralerspong, Berton Earnshaw +2

Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPMs) have achieved strong generative performance, yet their inductive biases remain largely implicit. In this work, we aim to build inductive biase…

From Noise to Narrative: Tracing the Origins of Hallucinations in Transformers

Praneet Suresh, Jack Stanley, Sonia Joseph +2

As generative AI systems become competent and democratized in science, business, and government, deeper insight into their failure modes now poses an acute need. The occasional vol…

Torsional-GFN: a conditional conformation generator for small molecules

Alexandra Volokhova, Léna Néhale Ezzine, Piotr Gaiński +5

Generating stable molecular conformations is crucial in several drug discovery applications, such as estimating the binding affinity of a molecule to a target. Recently, generative…

Solving Bayesian inverse problems with diffusion priors and off-policy RL

Luca Scimeca, Siddarth Venkatraman, Moksh Jain +14

This paper presents a practical application of Relative Trajectory Balance (RTB), a recently introduced off-policy reinforcement learning (RL) objective that can asymptotically sol…

Shaping Inductive Bias in Diffusion Models through Frequency-Based Noise Control

Thomas Jiralerspong, Berton Earnshaw, Jason Hartford +2

Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPMs) are powerful generative models that have achieved unparalleled success in a number of generative tasks. In this work, we aim to build inductiv…

Outsourced diffusion sampling: Efficient posterior inference in latent spaces of generative models

Siddarth Venkatraman, Mohsin Hasan, Minsu Kim +5

Any well-behaved generative model over a variable can be expressed as a deterministic transformation of an exogenous ('outsourced') Gaussian noise variable $\mathbf{z}…

Scalable Ensemble Diversification for OOD Generalization and Detection

Alexander Rubinstein, Luca Scimeca, Damien Teney +1

Training a diverse ensemble of models has several practical applications such as providing candidates for model selection with better out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, and…

Amortizing intractable inference in diffusion models for vision, language, and control

Siddarth Venkatraman, Moksh Jain, Luca Scimeca +12

Diffusion models have emerged as effective distribution estimators in vision, language, and reinforcement learning, but their use as priors in downstream tasks poses an intractable…

Improved off-policy training of diffusion samplers

Marcin Sendera, Minsu Kim, Sarthak Mittal +6

We study the problem of training diffusion models to sample from a distribution with a given unnormalized density or energy function. We benchmark several diffusion-structured infe…

Leveraging Diffusion Disentangled Representations to Mitigate Shortcuts in Underspecified Visual Tasks

Luca Scimeca, Alexander Rubinstein, Armand Mihai Nicolicioiu +2

Spurious correlations in the data, where multiple cues are predictive of the target labels, often lead to shortcut learning phenomena, where a model may rely on erroneous, easy-to-…

Mitigating Shortcut Learning with Diffusion Counterfactuals and Diverse Ensembles

Luca Scimeca, Alexander Rubinstein, Damien Teney +2

Spurious correlations in the data, where multiple cues are predictive of the target labels, often lead to a phenomenon known as shortcut learning, where a model relies on erroneous…
