| Apr 11, 2025 | Our paper, Analysis of Diffusion Models for Manifold Data, has been accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 2025 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), which will be held in Michigan, USA. The paper will also be presented as a talk by Anand Jerry George on 25 June, as part of the Generative Models session. More information about the programme can be found here. |
| Feb 1, 2025 | Diffusion models have become the state-of-the-art for generative modeling in images, but there’s still much to uncover about their theoretical foundations. In collaboration with Anand Jerry George and Nicolas Macris, we dive into these aspects in our two latest preprints. In Denoising Score Matching with Random Features: Insights on Diffusion Models from Precise Learning Curves, we analyse the time-reversed dynamics of denoising score matching in generative diffusion models, leveraging random feature neural networks to derive precise learning curves. In Analysis of Diffusion Models for Manifold Data, explore the behaviour of diffusion models when data lies on a manifold, under the assumption of an exact empirical score. |
| Jul 23, 2024 | Together with my colleague Anastasia Remizova, I will be presenting our work Stochastic Gradient Flow Dynamics of Test Risk and its Exact Solution for Weak Features on the Poster Session 1 at ICML, Hall C 4-9, from 11:30 am to 1 pm (CEST). We will be next to poster #1901. Come and have a chat with us! |
