Rectified Noise: A Generative Model Using Positive-incentive Noise

Zhenyu Gu, Yanchen Xu, Sida Huang +2

Rectified Flow (RF) has been widely used as an effective generative model. Although RF is primarily based on probability flow Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE), recent studies…

Learn Beneficial Noise as Graph Augmentation

Siqi Huang, Yanchen Xu, Hongyuan Zhang +1

Although graph contrastive learning (GCL) has been widely investigated, it is still a challenge to generate effective and stable graph augmentations. Existing methods often apply h…

Data Augmentation of Contrastive Learning is Estimating Positive-incentive Noise

Hongyuan Zhang, Yanchen Xu, Sida Huang +1

Inspired by the idea of Positive-incentive Noise (Pi-Noise or -Noise) that aims at learning the reliable noise beneficial to tasks, we scientifically investigate the connection…
