Aligning Few-Step Generative Models by Amortizing Sample-based Variational Inference
Jaewoo Lee, Hyeongyu Kang, Dohyun Kim +9
Aligning a few-step generative model is challenging, since existing alignment frameworks typically rely on restrictive assumptions: a tractable likelihood, a specific ODE/SDE solve…
Automated Kernel Discovery Towards Understanding High-dimensional Bayesian Optimization
Taeyoung Yun, Woocheol Shin, Inhyuck Song +2
Gaussian Process (GP) kernels are central to Bayesian optimization (BO), yet designing effective kernels for high-dimensional problems still relies on extensive manual engineering.…
Diffusion Fine-Tuning via Reparameterized Policy Gradient of the Soft Q-Function
Hyeongyu Kang, Jaewoo Lee, Woocheol Shin +2
Diffusion models excel at generating high-likelihood samples but often require alignment with downstream objectives. Existing fine-tuning methods for diffusion models significantly…
Diffusion Alignment as Variational Expectation-Maximization
Jaewoo Lee, Minsu Kim, Sanghyeok Choi +7
Diffusion alignment aims to optimize diffusion models for the downstream objective. While existing methods based on reinforcement learning or direct backpropagation achieve conside…
