How to Have a Sensitive Debate: An Instance-Optimal Protocol for AI Debate

Jiawei Li, Zhiyang Xun, Lijie Chen +1

As powerful AI systems reach and sometimes surpass the abilities of human experts across a range of cognitively demanding tasks, the problem of accurate oversight and supervision o…

Total Variation Distance Estimation in Autoregressive Models

Eric Price, Kevin Tian, Zhiyang Xun +1

Modern LLM deployments use a number of implementation choices and inference optimizations (e.g., batching, custom kernels, and quantization) on top of fixed weights, so two engines…

Query Lower Bounds for Diffusion Sampling

Zhiyang Xun, Eric Price

Diffusion models generate samples by iteratively querying learned score estimates. A rapidly growing literature focuses on accelerating sampling by minimizing the number of score e…

Posterior Sampling by Combining Diffusion Models with Annealed Langevin Dynamics

Zhiyang Xun, Shivam Gupta, Eric Price

Given a noisy linear measurement of a distribution , and a good approximation to the prior , when can we sample from the posterior ? Posterior…

Avoiding Obfuscation with Prover-Estimator Debate

Jonah Brown-Cohen, Geoffrey Irving, Georgios Piliouras +3

Training powerful AI systems to exhibit desired behaviors hinges on the ability to provide accurate human supervision on increasingly complex tasks. A promising approach to this pr…

Spectral Guarantees for Adversarial Streaming PCA

Eric Price, Zhiyang Xun

In streaming PCA, we see a stream of vectors and want to estimate the top eigenvector of their covariance matrix. This is easier if the spectral…

Diffusion Posterior Sampling is Computationally Intractable

Shivam Gupta, Ajil Jalal, Aditya Parulekar +2

Diffusion models are a remarkably effective way of learning and sampling from a distribution . In posterior sampling, one is also given a measurement model and…

On Pigeonhole Principles and Ramsey in TFNP

Siddhartha Jain, Jiawei Li, Robert Robere +1

We show that the TFNP problem RAMSEY is not black-box reducible to PIGEON, refuting a conjecture of Goldberg and Papadimitriou in the black-box setting. We prove this by giving red…

Improved Sample Complexity Bounds for Diffusion Model Training

Shivam Gupta, Aditya Parulekar, Eric Price +1

Diffusion models have become the most popular approach to deep generative modeling of images, largely due to their empirical performance and reliability. From a theoretical standpo…

On Algorithms Based on Finitely Many Homomorphism Counts

Yijia Chen, Jörg Flum, Mingjun Liu +1

It is well known [Lovász, 67] that up to isomorphism a graph~ is determined by the homomorphism counts , i.e., the number of homomorphisms from to , where …
