Aligning Few-Step Generative Models by Amortizing Sample-based Variational Inference
Jaewoo Lee, Hyeongyu Kang, Dohyun Kim +9
Aligning a few-step generative model is challenging, since existing alignment frameworks typically rely on restrictive assumptions: a tractable likelihood, a specific ODE/SDE solve…
Automated Kernel Discovery Towards Understanding High-dimensional Bayesian Optimization
Taeyoung Yun, Woocheol Shin, Inhyuck Song +2
Gaussian Process (GP) kernels are central to Bayesian optimization (BO), yet designing effective kernels for high-dimensional problems still relies on extensive manual engineering.…
Active Attacks: Red-teaming LLMs via Adaptive Environments
Taeyoung Yun, Pierre-Luc St-Charles, Jinkyoo Park +2
We address the challenge of generating diverse attack prompts for large language models (LLMs) that elicit harmful behaviors (e.g., insults, sexual content) and are used for safety…
Diffusion Alignment as Variational Expectation-Maximization
Jaewoo Lee, Minsu Kim, Sanghyeok Choi +7
Diffusion alignment aims to optimize diffusion models for the downstream objective. While existing methods based on reinforcement learning or direct backpropagation achieve conside…
Posterior Inference in Latent Space for Scalable Constrained Black-box Optimization
Kiyoung Om, Kyuil Sim, Taeyoung Yun +2
Optimizing high-dimensional black-box functions under black-box constraints is a pervasive task in a wide range of scientific and engineering problems. These problems are typically…
Offline Model-Based Optimization: Comprehensive Review
Minsu Kim, Jiayao Gu, Ye Yuan +4
Offline optimization is a fundamental challenge in science and engineering, where the goal is to optimize black-box functions using only offline datasets. This setting is particula…
