Diffusion Posterior Sampling is Computationally Intractable

ICML 2024poster

Diffusion models are a remarkably effective way of learning and sampling from a distribution $p(x)$. In posterior sampling, one is also given a measurement model $p(y \mid x)$ and a measurement $y$, and would like to sample from $p(x \mid y)$. Posterior sampling is useful for tasks such as inpaintin…

Learning a 1-layer conditional generative model in total variation

NeurIPS 2023poster

A conditional generative model is a method for sampling from a conditional distribution $p(y \mid x)$. For example, one may want to sample an image of a cat given the label ``cat''. A feed-forward conditional generative model is a function $g(x, z)$ that takes the input $x$ and a random seed $z$,…

Fairness for Image Generation with Uncertain Sensitive Attributes

ICML 2021spotlight

This work tackles the issue of fairness in the context of generative procedures, such as image super-resolution, which entail different definitions from the standard classification setting. Moreover, while traditional group fairness definitions are typically defined with respect to specified protect…

Instance-Optimal Compressed Sensing via Posterior Sampling

ICML 2021spotlight

We characterize the measurement complexity of compressed sensing of signals drawn from a known prior distribution, even when the support of the prior is the entire space (rather than, say, sparse vectors). We show for Gaussian measurements and \emph{any} prior distribution on the signal, that the po…

Intermediate Layer Optimization for Inverse Problems using Deep Generative Models

ICML 2021spotlight

We propose Intermediate Layer Optimization (ILO), a novel optimization algorithm for solving inverse problems with deep generative models. Instead of optimizing only over the initial latent code, we progressively change the input layer obtaining successively more expressive generators. To explore th…

Robust Compressed Sensing MRI with Deep Generative Priors

NeurIPS 2021poster

The CSGM framework (Bora-Jalal-Price-Dimakis'17) has shown that deep generative priors can be powerful tools for solving inverse problems. However, to date this framework has been empirically successful only on certain datasets (for example, human faces and MNIST digits), and it is known to perform…

Robust compressed sensing using generative models

NeurIPS 2020poster

We consider estimating a high dimensional signal in $\R^n$ using a sublinear number of linear measurements. In analogy to classical compressed sensing, here we assume a generative model as a prior, that is, we assume the signal is represented by a deep generative model $G: \R^k \rightarrow \R^n$. Cl…

Inverting Deep Generative models, One layer at a time

NeurIPS 2019poster

We study the problem of inverting a deep generative model with ReLU activations. Inversion corresponds to finding a latent code vector that explains observed measurements as much as possible. In most prior works this is performed by attempting to solve a non-convex optimization problem involving t…
