ATLAS: A Foundation Neural Sampler for Amorphous Materials
Mouyang Cheng, Denis Blessing, Botao Yu +4
Amorphous materials exhibit exceptional mechanical and functional properties, yet their rugged energy landscapes are notoriously difficult to sample. Below the glass-transition tem…
Trust-Region Diffusion Policies for Massively Parallel On-Policy RL
Huy Le, Onur Celik, Denis Blessing +6
Reinforcement learning with massively parallel simulations has become a standard framework for developing robust, deployable policies; however, most existing approaches still rely…
Learning Boltzmann Generators via Constrained Mass Transport
Christopher von Klitzing, Denis Blessing, Henrik Schopmans +2
Efficient sampling from high-dimensional and multimodal unnormalized probability distributions is a central challenge in many areas of science and machine learning. We focus on Bol…
Trust Region Constrained Measure Transport in Path Space for Stochastic Optimal Control and Inference
Denis Blessing, Julius Berner, Lorenz Richter +4
Solving stochastic optimal control problems with quadratic control costs can be viewed as approximating a target path space measure, e.g. via gradient-based optimization. In practi…
Underdamped Diffusion Bridges with Applications to Sampling
Denis Blessing, Julius Berner, Lorenz Richter +1
We provide a general framework for learning diffusion bridges that transport prior to target distributions. It includes existing diffusion models for generative modeling, but also…
End-To-End Learning of Gaussian Mixture Priors for Diffusion Sampler
Denis Blessing, Xiaogang Jia, Gerhard Neumann
Diffusion models optimized via variational inference (VI) have emerged as a promising tool for generating samples from unnormalized target densities. These models create samples by…
Sequential Controlled Langevin Diffusions
Junhua Chen, Lorenz Richter, Julius Berner +3
An effective approach for sampling from unnormalized densities is based on the idea of gradually transporting samples from an easy prior to the complicated target distribution. Two…
Beyond ELBOs: A Large-Scale Evaluation of Variational Methods for Sampling
Denis Blessing, Xiaogang Jia, Johannes Esslinger +2
Monte Carlo methods, Variational Inference, and their combinations play a pivotal role in sampling from intractable probability distributions. However, current studies lack a unifi…
Towards Diverse Behaviors: A Benchmark for Imitation Learning with Human Demonstrations
Xiaogang Jia, Denis Blessing, Xinkai Jiang +4
Imitation learning with human data has demonstrated remarkable success in teaching robots in a wide range of skills. However, the inherent diversity in human behavior leads to the…
