At #ICML2025 this week?

Come check out our work on controlled generation, simulation-free latent SDEs, and risk monitoring in test-time adaptation, and chat with the awesome students that made it happen!

🚨🚀
Come hear @gbarto.bsky.social talk about SDE Matching tomorrow!

SDE Matching is a highly efficient and scalable training framework for Latent/Neural SDEs.

You no longer have to discretize or simulate your SDE models when fitting them to data.

#AISTATS2025 happening in Phuket, Thailand! I have two papers at the conference:

1. Max-Rank: Efficient Multiple Testing for Conformal Prediction

2. Variational Combinatorial Sequential Monte Carlo for Bayesian Phylogenetics in Hyperbolic Space

Both at poster session 2!

I already advertised for this document when I posted it on arXiv, and later when it was published.

This week, with the agreement of the publisher, I uploaded the published version on arXiv.

Less typos, more references and additional sections including PAC-Bayes Bernstein.

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.

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.
