AdaPID optimizes diffusion-based samplers by dynamically adjusting schedules.

problem Optimizing the intermediate-time dynamics in diffusion-based samplers.

result QoS-driven PWC schedules consistently improve sampling fidelity and accuracy.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a powerful class of generative models. Despite their successes, the most appropriate choice of a GAN network architecture is still not well understood. GAN models for image synthesis have adopted a deep convolutional network architecture, which eliminates or minimizes the use …

This paper improves Bayesian inference for predictive models with limited data.

problem Effective uncertainty quantification for training predictive models with limited data.
method Entropy-regularized gradient estimators to approximate the Bayesian posterior.
result The method generates diverse samples from the posterior distribution efficiently.

We focus on generative autoencoders, such as variational or adversarial autoencoders, which jointly learn a generative model alongside an inference model. Generative autoencoders are those which are trained to softly enforce a prior on the latent distribution learned by the inference model. We call the distribution to …

Recent advances in generative modeling have led to an increased interest in the study of statistical divergences as means of model comparison. Commonly used evaluation methods, such as the Frechet Inception Distance (FID), correlate well with the perceived quality of samples and are sensitive to mode dropping. However,…

This paper introduces a new method to train normalizing flows using precision-recall divergences.

problem Training generative models with mode dropping and low-quality samples.
method Introduces PR-divergences and proposes a novel generative model to minimize precision-recall trade-offs.
result Normalizing flows can be trained to achieve specific precision-recall trade-offs using PR-divergences.

The computational cost of training with softmax cross entropy loss grows linearly with the number of classes. For the settings where a large number of classes are involved, a common method to speed up training is to sample a subset of classes and utilize an estimate of the loss gradient based on these classes, known as…
