Improved denoising diffusion probabilistic models with efficient non-diagonal covariance modeling

Rui Xia, Ayan Das, Artem Artemev +3

The sampling process of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) can be accelerated by leveraging second-order information in the form of approximations to the denoising po…

Exploiting weight-space symmetries for approximating curvature

Artem Artemev, Rui Xia, Benjamin M. Boyd +4

Many machine learning techniques rely on approximating a loss function's curvature, but this is notoriously hard to do at the scale of modern deep networks. Surprisingly, no previo…

Cross-Tokenizer LLM Distillation through a Byte-Level Interface

Avyav Kumar Singh, Yen-Chen Wu, Alexandru Cioba +2

Cross-tokenizer distillation (CTD), the transfer of knowledge from a teacher to a student language model when the two use different tokenizers, remains a largely unsolved problem.…

Reinforcement Learning Using known Invariances

Alexandru Cioba, Aya Kayal, Laura Toni +2

In many real-world reinforcement learning (RL) problems, the environment exhibits inherent symmetries that can be exploited to improve learning efficiency. This paper develops a th…

Bayesian Optimization from Human Feedback: Near-Optimal Regret Bounds

Aya Kayal, Sattar Vakili, Laura Toni +2

Bayesian optimization (BO) with preference-based feedback has recently garnered significant attention due to its emerging applications. We refer to this problem as Bayesian Optimiz…

Near-Optimal Sample Complexity in Reward-Free Kernel-Based Reinforcement Learning

Aya Kayal, Sattar Vakili, Laura Toni +1

Reinforcement Learning (RL) problems are being considered under increasingly more complex structures. While tabular and linear models have been thoroughly explored, the analytical…
