Come check out SDE Matching at the #ICLR2025 workshops, a new simulation-free framework for training fully general Latent/Neural SDEs (generalisation of diffusion and bridge models). FPI: Morning poster session DeLTa: Afternoon poster session #SDE #Bayes #GenAI #Diffusion #Flow

This is really interesting! Learning the posterior probability path p(x0 | xt) rather than only the mean is something we suggested in Variational Flow Matching as well, but for a different reason (generating discrete data). Very cool that it can also be used for faster generation.

Better diffusions with scoring rules! Fewer, larger denoising steps using distributional losses; learn the posterior distribution of clean samples given the noisy versions. arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02483 @vdebortoli.bsky.social Galashov Guntupalli Zhou @sirbayes.bsky.social @arnauddoucet.bsky.social

You still have a chance to submit your work to all tracks for AABI. New deadline is February 14 for both Workshop and Proceedings track! #AABI2025 #ML #ICLR2025 #Stats #Bayes

Don't forget #AABI, the Symposium on Advances in Approximate Bayesian Inference is coming to Singapore!! Co-located #ICLR2025 Workshop Track: February 7, AoE Proceedings Track: February 7, AoE Fast Track: February 18 / March 14, AoE approximateinference.org/call/ #ML #Bayes #GenAI

Really excited about this! We note a connection between diffusion/flow models and neural/latent SDEs. We show how to use this for simulation-free learning of fully flexible SDEs. We refer to this as SDE Matching and show speed improvements of several orders of magnitude. arxiv.org/abs/2502.02472

SDE Matching: Scalable and Simulation-Free Training of Latent Stochastic Differential Equations

The Latent Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) is a powerful tool for time series and sequence modeling. However, training Latent SDEs typically relies on adjoint sensitivity methods, which depend ...

📢PSA: #NeurIPS2024 recordings are now publicly available! The workshops always have tons of interesting things on at once, so the FOMO is real😵‍💫 Luckily it's all recorded, so I've been catching up on what I missed. Thread below with some personal highlights🧵
