We propose a new generative modeling framework grounded in forward-backward partial differential equations (PDEs). These equations arise naturally in mean-field game (MFG) theory, and are closely…
Text-to-image generation models do not explicitly receive the syntactic structure of the prompt, i.e., which word modifies which and where each phrase attaches. Consequently, they often struggle to…
Learning-based path planners based on diffusion and flow matching can generate diverse trajectories from demonstrations but typically lack mechanisms for constraint satisfaction and collision…
Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is a challenging task due to the extremely small size of targets, low signal-to-noise ratios, and heavy background clutter in infrared imagery. While the…
Knowledge graph question generation (KGQG) generates natural-language questions from structured graph evidence and a target answer. When the input graph is temporal, a valid question must also…
Accurate localization of neonatal hypoxic--ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) lesions on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images is clinically important but is limited by scarce expert annotations and…
Masked diffusion language models have emerged as an alternative to autoregressive models, enabling parallel token generation. However, standard masked diffusion language models use a shared noise…
Barycenter models, based on stochastic and deterministic optimal transport bridges between probability measures, have proven to be useful for supervised and unsupervised learning for (probability)…
Reward guidance methods sample an exponential tilt of a base density using a diffusion model trained with only samples from the base distribution. Existing methods use what we call external guidance:…
Motivated by the human ability to integrate experience across language, perception, and action, we introduce UniWALM, a unified world-action-language model that learns video, action, and language in…
Discrete diffusion models iteratively denoise a noisy sequence of categorical data such as text, enabling any-order generation with self-correction and in-filling capabilities. This makes them…
Object-goal navigation (ObjectNav) requires an embodied agent to find an instance of a specified category in an unseen environment and stop near it. The agent typically relies on an object detector…
Cascade world-action models (WAMs) use predicted visual futures to condition robot actions, but inherit costly iterative inference from diffusion-pretrained experts. We ask what a single-step…
Imitation learning increasingly relies on novice operators, whose demonstrations fall short of experts' in number and inter-trial consistency. Operators act on what they are shown, yet how the…
Video generation models are promising foundations for embodied world models, but only if their generated rollouts are physically valid and faithful to task instructions. Multimodal large language…
Human-collected real-world robotic manipulation demonstrations often contain mixed-quality trajectories, including hesitant, indirect, or inefficient action segments. While diffusion- and flow-based…
Diffusion models have emerged as the foundation of modern generative systems, yet their high memorization capacity raises privacy concerns. While differentially private (DP) training provides formal…
Stochastic optimization with high-fidelity nonlinear models is often computationally prohibitive because each objective evaluation requires sampling-based uncertainty quantification inside an outer…
We study the sample complexity of estimating Ornstein--Uhlenbeck diffusion scores in $\mathbb R^d$ using denoising score matching (DSM) with finite-width shallow ReLU networks, and its implications…
Indirect and noisy observations are difficult to invert when the forward operator smooths out the unknown signal. In this case, the unstable modes are precisely the modes that the data reveals least,…
Facing imbalanced binary classification, we aim at maximizing the recall while limiting the proportion of false detections in the minority class. For doing that, the present work studies the effect…
Inference-time sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) decoding can improve the reasoning accuracy of masked diffusion language models (diffusion LLMs) without post-training by resampling a population of…
Many of the most important datasets in the physical sciences live natively on the sphere, and these data often carry no preferred position or orientation. Using methods that do not reflect this…
Can algorithms be learned and evolved as models, rather than repeatedly redesigned as programs? We explore this question by introducing Algorithm Modelization, a new paradigm that turns iterative…
