The Spacetime of Diffusion Models: An Information Geometry Perspective
RafaÅ Karczewski, Markus Heinonen, Alison Pouplin +2
We present a novel geometric perspective on the latent space of diffusion models. We first show that the standard pullback approach, utilizing the deterministic probability flow OD…
VIKING: Deep variational inference with stochastic projections
Samuel G. Fadel, Hrittik Roy, Nicholas Krämer +5
Variational mean field approximations tend to struggle with contemporary overparametrized deep neural networks. Where a Bayesian treatment is usually associated with high-quality p…
Beyond Quantification: Navigating Uncertainty in Professional AI Systems
Sylvie Delacroix, Diana Robinson, Umang Bhatt +12
The growing integration of large language models across professional domains transforms how experts make critical decisions in healthcare, education, and law. While significant res…
Exploring bidirectional bounds for minimax-training of Energy-based models
Cong Geng, Jia Wang, Li Chen +3
Energy-based models (EBMs) estimate unnormalized densities in an elegant framework, but they are generally difficult to train. Recent work has linked EBMs to generative adversarial…
Identifying Metric Structures of Deep Latent Variable Models
Stas Syrota, Yevgen Zainchkovskyy, Johnny Xi +2
Deep latent variable models learn condensed representations of data that, hopefully, reflect the inner workings of the studied phenomena. Unfortunately, these latent representation…
A survey and benchmark of high-dimensional Bayesian optimization of discrete sequences
Miguel González-Duque, Richard Michael, Simon Bartels +3
Optimizing discrete black-box functions is key in several domains, e.g. protein engineering and drug design. Due to the lack of gradient information and the need for sample efficie…
