Diffusion-based Annealed Boltzmann Generators : benefits, pitfalls and hopes
Louis Grenioux, Maxence Noble
Sampling configurations at thermodynamic equilibrium is a central challenge in statistical physics. Boltzmann Generators (BGs) tackle it by combining a generative model with a Mont…
A Diffusive Classification Loss for Learning Energy-based Generative Models
RuiKang OuYang, Louis Grenioux, José Miguel Hernández-Lobato
Score-based generative models have recently achieved remarkable success. While they are usually parameterized by the score, an alternative way is to use a series of time-dependent…
Boltzmann generators for amorphous particle systems
Louis Grenioux, Leonardo Galliano, Ludovic Berthier +2
Sampling configurations in thermodynamic equilibrium is a long-standing challenge in statistical physics. Boltzmann generators address this problem by employing generative models t…
Improving the evaluation of samplers on multi-modal targets
Louis Grenioux, Maxence Noble, Marylou Gabrié
Addressing multi-modality constitutes one of the major challenges of sampling. In this reflection paper, we advocate for a more systematic evaluation of samplers towards two source…
Learned Reference-based Diffusion Sampling for multi-modal distributions
Maxence Noble, Louis Grenioux, Marylou Gabrié +1
Over the past few years, several approaches utilizing score-based diffusion have been proposed to sample from probability distributions, that is without having access to exact samp…
