VASR: Variance-Aware Systematic Resampling for Reward-Guided Diffusion

Shivanshu Shekhar, Sagnik Mukherjee, Jia Yi Zhang +1

Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers for reward-guided diffusion models often suffer from rapid lineage collapse: a few high-reward particles dominate the population within a hand…

GT-SVJ: Generative-Transformer-Based Self-Supervised Video Judge For Efficient Video Reward Modeling

Shivanshu Shekhar, Uttaran Bhattacharya, Raghavendra Addanki +3

Aligning video generative models with human preferences remains challenging: current approaches rely on Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for reward modeling, but these models struggle…

ROCM: RLHF on consistency models

Shivanshu Shekhar, Tong Zhang

Diffusion models have revolutionized generative modeling in continuous domains like image, audio, and video synthesis. However, their iterative sampling process leads to slow gener…
