Posterior Inference in Latent Space for Scalable Constrained Black-box Optimization
Kiyoung Om, Kyuil Sim, Taeyoung Yun +2
Optimizing high-dimensional black-box functions under black-box constraints is a pervasive task in a wide range of scientific and engineering problems. These problems are typically…
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…
Active Attacks: Red-teaming LLMs via Adaptive Environments
Taeyoung Yun, Pierre-Luc St-Charles, Jinkyoo Park +2
We address the challenge of generating diverse attack prompts for large language models (LLMs) that elicit harmful behaviors (e.g., insults, sexual content) and are used for safety…
Posterior Inference with Diffusion Models for High-dimensional Black-box Optimization
Taeyoung Yun, Kiyoung Om, Jaewoo Lee +2
Optimizing high-dimensional and complex black-box functions is crucial in numerous scientific applications. While Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful method for sample-efficie…
Improved Off-policy Reinforcement Learning in Biological Sequence Design
Hyeonah Kim, Minsu Kim, Taeyoung Yun +4
Designing biological sequences with desired properties is challenging due to vast search spaces and limited evaluation budgets. Although reinforcement learning methods use proxy mo…
Adaptive teachers for amortized samplers
Minsu Kim, Sanghyeok Choi, Taeyoung Yun +7
Amortized inference is the task of training a parametric model, such as a neural network, to approximate a distribution with a given unnormalized density where exact sampling is in…
