GEOPHYS: The Geometry of Physical Plausibility

Christian Internò, Alexander Pondaven, Habon Issa +8

While humans can identify physically implausible events within milliseconds, machine learning approaches addressing the same problem are extremely slow and expensive. They either r…

Learning a Maximum Entropy Model for Visual Textures using Diffusion

Xinyuan Zhao, Eero P. Simoncelli

Visual textures -- spatially homogeneous image regions containing repeated elements (e.g. a field of grass, the bark of a tree) -- are ubiquitous in visual scenes and provide impor…

Learning Normalized Energy Models for Linear Inverse Problems

Nicolas Zilberstein, Santiago Segarra, Eero Simoncelli +1

Generative diffusion models can provide powerful prior probability models for inverse problems in imaging, but existing implementations suffer from two key limitations: the p…

Blind denoising diffusion models and the blessings of dimensionality

Zahra Kadkhodaie, Aram-Alexandre Pooladian, Sinho Chewi +1

Denoising diffusion models (DDMs) are state-of-the-art methods for learning densities from data across numerous domains, yet many aspects of the training and sampling pipeline rema…

Disentangled representations via score-based variational autoencoders

Benjamin S. H. Lyo, Eero P. Simoncelli, Cristina Savin

We present the Score-based Autoencoder for Multiscale Inference (SAMI), a method for unsupervised representation learning that combines the theoretical frameworks of diffusion mode…

Learning a distance measure from the information-estimation geometry of data

Guy Ohayon, Pierre-Etienne H. Fiquet, Florentin Guth +2

We introduce the Information-Estimation Metric (IEM), a novel form of distance function derived from an underlying continuous probability density over a domain of signals. The IEM…

Learning normalized image densities via dual score matching

Florentin Guth, Zahra Kadkhodaie, Eero P Simoncelli

Learning probability models from data is at the heart of many machine learning endeavors, but is notoriously difficult due to the curse of dimensionality. We introduce a new framew…

Unconditional CNN denoisers contain sparse semantic representation of images

Zahra Kadkhodaie, Stéphane Mallat, Eero Simoncelli

Generative diffusion models learn probability densities over diverse image datasets by estimating the score with a neural network trained to remove noise. Despite their remarkable…

Detection of Moving Objects Using Self-motion Constraints on Optic Flow

Hope Lutwak, Bas Rokers, Eero P. Simoncelli

As we move through the world, the pattern of light projected on our eyes is complex and dynamic, yet we are still able to distinguish between moving and stationary objects. We prop…

Learning predictable and robust neural representations by straightening image sequences

Xueyan Niu, Cristina Savin, Eero P. Simoncelli

Prediction is a fundamental capability of all living organisms, and has been proposed as an objective for learning sensory representations. Recent work demonstrates that in primate…

Video prediction using score-based conditional density estimation

Pierre-Étienne H. Fiquet, Eero P. Simoncelli

Temporal prediction is inherently uncertain, but representing the ambiguity in natural image sequences is a challenging high-dimensional probabilistic inference problem. For natura…

Feature-guided score diffusion for sampling conditional densities

Zahra Kadkhodaie, Stéphane Mallat, Eero P. Simoncelli

Score diffusion methods can learn probability densities from samples. The score of the noise-corrupted density is estimated using a deep neural network, which is then used to itera…

Discriminating image representations with principal distortions

Jenelle Feather, David Lipshutz, Sarah E. Harvey +2

Image representations (artificial or biological) are often compared in terms of their global geometric structure; however, representations with similar global structure can have st…

Shaping the distribution of neural responses with interneurons in a recurrent circuit model

David Lipshutz, Eero P. Simoncelli

Efficient coding theory posits that sensory circuits transform natural signals into neural representations that maximize information transmission subject to resource constraints. L…
