Trajectory Replay: Continuous-Time Mixture Transport for Lifelong Generative Models

Alessandro Palma, Charles Jones, Tristan Cinquin +2

Adapting pre-trained continuous-time generative models to sequentially incoming data without forgetting earlier tasks is a central challenge in lifelong learning. A leading strateg…

Scaling Generative Foundation Models for Chest Radiography with Rectified Flow Transformers

Fabio De Sousa Ribeiro, Emma A. M. Stanley, Charles Jones +7

We introduce the first generative foundation model for chest radiograph synthesis trained from scratch at the billion-parameter scale. Existing radiographic AI models often suffer…

Elucidating the Design Space of Flow Matching for Cellular Microscopy

Charles Jones, Emmanuel Noutahi, Jason Hartford +1

Flow-matching generative models are increasingly used to simulate cell responses to biological perturbations. However, the design space for building such models is large and undere…

When does Subgroup Balance Matter? Predicting Performance Sensitivity from Latent Separability

Anissa Alloula, Charles Jones, Zuzanna Wakefield-Skorniewska +2

Unequal representation of demographic groups in training data poses challenges to model generalisation across populations. Standard practice assumes that balancing subgroup represe…

A Primer on Causal and Statistical Dataset Biases for Fair and Robust Image Analysis

Charles Jones, Ben Glocker

Machine learning methods often fail when deployed in the real world. Worse still, they fail in high-stakes situations and across socially sensitive lines. These issues have a chill…

Rethinking Fair Representation Learning for Performance-Sensitive Tasks

Charles Jones, Fabio de Sousa Ribeiro, Mélanie Roschewitz +2

We investigate the prominent class of fair representation learning methods for bias mitigation. Using causal reasoning to define and formalise different sources of dataset bias, we…
