Careful with that Scalpel: Improving Gradient Surgery with an EMA

no code implementations5 Feb 2024 Yu-Guan Hsieh, James Thornton, Eugene Ndiaye, Michal Klein, Marco Cuturi, Pierre Ablin

Beyond minimizing a single training loss, many deep learning estimation pipelines rely on an auxiliary objective to quantify and encourage desirable properties of the model (e. g. performance on another dataset, robustness, agreement with a prior).

Riemannian Diffusion Schrödinger Bridge

no code implementations7 Jul 2022 James Thornton, Michael Hutchinson, Emile Mathieu, Valentin De Bortoli, Yee Whye Teh, Arnaud Doucet

Our proposed method generalizes Diffusion Schr\"odinger Bridge introduced in \cite{debortoli2021neurips} to the non-Euclidean setting and extends Riemannian score-based models beyond the first time reversal.

Density Estimation

Rethinking Initialization of the Sinkhorn Algorithm

no code implementations15 Jun 2022 James Thornton, Marco Cuturi

While the optimal transport (OT) problem was originally formulated as a linear program, the addition of entropic regularization has proven beneficial both computationally and statistically, for many applications.

Riemannian Score-Based Generative Modelling

2 code implementations6 Feb 2022 Valentin De Bortoli, Emile Mathieu, Michael Hutchinson, James Thornton, Yee Whye Teh, Arnaud Doucet

Score-based generative models (SGMs) are a powerful class of generative models that exhibit remarkable empirical performance.

Simulating Diffusion Bridges with Score Matching

1 code implementation14 Nov 2021 Jeremy Heng, Valentin De Bortoli, Arnaud Doucet, James Thornton

This is known to be a challenging problem that has received much attention in the last two decades.

Diffusion Schrödinger Bridge with Applications to Score-Based Generative Modeling

2 code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Valentin De Bortoli, James Thornton, Jeremy Heng, Arnaud Doucet

In contrast, solving the Schr\"odinger Bridge problem (SB), i. e. an entropy-regularized optimal transport problem on path spaces, yields diffusions which generate samples from the data distribution in finite time.

Differentiable Particle Filtering via Entropy-Regularized Optimal Transport

1 code implementation15 Feb 2021 Adrien Corenflos, James Thornton, George Deligiannidis, Arnaud Doucet

Particle Filtering (PF) methods are an established class of procedures for performing inference in non-linear state-space models.
