I’m really excited to be attending NeurIPS and presenting our work on efficient fine-tuning of pre-trained diffusion models for SOTA conditional generation. Come chat with us on 12th Dec (Thursday) at 11am! Thread below (🧵) -

A highlight of the #NeurIPS2023 meetup in Cambridge for me was Carl Rasmussen's keynote on "Halting Climate Change". Spoiler: it has nothing to do with AI. Worth a watch:

Introducing a novel Langevin-based conditional sampler, our model scales to fit complex scalar/vector fields in both Euclidean & manifold codomains, exemplified by forecasting tropical hurricanes as per the illustrated figure.

We achieve this by first extending diffusion models to infinite-dimensional function spaces by a) constructing a noising process which admits, as limiting distribution, a Gaussian process that is group invariant, and b) approximating the score with an equivariant neural network.

As shown in the figure, these feature fields transform in a particular way when acted on by group elements such as translation or rotations. Often the frame used to represent these fields is arbitrary, and as such one ought to encode this invariance into the model

Our work presents a general-purpose probabilistic model over feature fields, which are functions often encountered in physical sciences, such as temperature maps, wind fields, stress tensors, etc.

Als u vandaag één artikel leest, laat het dan dit zijn. "Alex was 41. In de kranten staat dat hij een heroïneverslaafde was. Dat zal zeker zijn, maar hij was ook een oorlogsslachtoffer, een mens en bovenal mijn vriend." https://t.co/gaL4yKZEts

Our #ICML2023 paper introduces Neural Diffusion Processes - generalising diffusion processes to function spaces. Great to work with @vdutor @alandanielsaul and @ZoubinGhahrama1 Paper: https://t.co/gXhIQ2xRFF Code: https://t.co/6zHgZb8VN7

Lol. I also have to thank T-Rex for my first job. Learned to play the game (from raw pixels in a screen capture) using deep Q-learning: https://t.co/J2JnlxlDiI

Congrats! It's amazing to see how Random (Fourier) Features continue to fuel progress even in this era of Transformers
Simplex Random Features accepted to #ICML2023 w oral presentation! TLDR: Monte Carlo methods linearise Transformer attention by throwing a (random) kitchen sink at it, but you can get much better results with a slightly more sophisticated sink🚰 https://t.co/03IM8o6WeO 🧵1/9

This an excellent opportunity to present your work (past, NeurIPS or ongoing) and to connect with other researchers in our diverse community here in the greater Cambridge area :) The day will also feature panel sessions and in-person presentations.
