On the Sample Efficiency of Inverse Dynamics Models for Semi-Supervised Imitation Learning

ICML 2026poster

Semi-supervised imitation learning (SSIL) consists in learning a policy from a small dataset of action-labeled trajectories and a much larger dataset of action-free trajectories. Some SSIL methods learn an inverse dynamics model (IDM) to predict the action from the current state and the next state. …

Beyond FVD: An Enhanced Evaluation Metrics for Video Generation Distribution Quality

ICLR 2025poster

The Fréchet Video Distance (FVD) is a widely adopted metric for evaluating video generation distribution quality. However, its effectiveness relies on critical assumptions. Our analysis reveals three significant limitations: (1) the non-Gaussianity of the Inflated 3D Convnet (I3D) feature space; (2)…

Understanding Adam Requires Better Rotation Dependent Assumptions

NeurIPS 2025poster

Despite its widespread adoption, Adam's advantage over Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) lacks a comprehensive theoretical explanation. This paper investigates Adam's sensitivity to rotations of the parameter space. We observe that Adam's performance in training transformers degrades under random ro…

Generating and Imputing Tabular Data via Diffusion and Flow-based Gradient-Boosted Trees

AISTATS 2024poster

Tabular data is hard to acquire and is subject to missing values. This paper introduces a novel approach for generating and imputing mixed-type (continuous and categorical) tabular data utilizing score-based diffusion and conditional flow matching. In contrast to prior methods that rely on neural ne…

MCVD - Masked Conditional Video Diffusion for Prediction, Generation, and Interpolation

NeurIPS 2022accept

Video prediction is a challenging task. The quality of video frames from current state-of-the-art (SOTA) generative models tends to be poor and generalization beyond the training data is difficult. Furthermore, existing prediction frameworks are typically not capable of simultaneously handling othe…

Adversarial score matching and improved sampling for image generation

ICLR 2021poster

Denoising Score Matching with Annealed Langevin Sampling (DSM-ALS) has recently found success in generative modeling. The approach works by first training a neural network to estimate the score of a distribution, and then using Langevin dynamics to sample from the data distribution assumed by the sc…

Stochastic Hamiltonian Gradient Methods for Smooth Games

ICML 2020poster

The success of adversarial formulations in machine learning has brought renewed motivation for smooth games. In this work, we focus on the class of stochastic Hamiltonian methods and provide the first convergence guarantees for certain classes of stochastic smooth games. We propose a novel unbiased…
