Joint Embedding vs Reconstruction: Provable Benefits of Latent Space Prediction for Self Supervised Learning
Hugues Van Assel, Mark Ibrahim, Tommaso Biancalani +2
Reconstruction and joint embedding have emerged as two leading paradigms in Self Supervised Learning (SSL). Reconstruction methods focus on recovering the original sample from a di…
Dynamic Search for Inference-Time Alignment in Diffusion Models
Xiner Li, Masatoshi Uehara, Xingyu Su +5
Diffusion models have shown promising generative capabilities across diverse domains, yet aligning their outputs with desired reward functions remains a challenge, particularly in…
Reward-Guided Iterative Refinement in Diffusion Models at Test-Time with Applications to Protein and DNA Design
Masatoshi Uehara, Xingyu Su, Yulai Zhao +5
To fully leverage the capabilities of diffusion models, we are often interested in optimizing downstream reward functions during inference. While numerous algorithms for reward-gui…
Inference-Time Alignment in Diffusion Models with Reward-Guided Generation: Tutorial and Review
Masatoshi Uehara, Yulai Zhao, Chenyu Wang +4
This tutorial provides an in-depth guide on inference-time guidance and alignment methods for optimizing downstream reward functions in diffusion models. While diffusion models are…
