Entropy Aware Reward Guidance for Diffusion Language Model Alignment

Atula Tejaswi, Litu Rout, Constantine Caramanis +2

Reward guidance, also known as posterior sampling, is a popular method for test-time adaptation and post-training in continuous diffusion models. In this paper, we study reward gui…

An Optimal Transport Perspective on Unpaired Image Super-Resolution

Milena Gazdieva, Petr Mokrov, Litu Rout +4

Real-world image super-resolution (SR) tasks often do not have paired datasets, which limits the application of supervised techniques. As a result, the tasks are usually approached…
