A Stage-Aware Mixture of Experts Framework for Neurodegenerative Disease Progression Modelling

AAAI 2026technical

The long-term progression of neurodegenerative diseases is commonly conceptualized as a spatiotemporal diffusion process that consists of a graph diffusion process across the structural brain connectome and a localized reaction process within brain regions. However, modeling this progression remains

Diffusion Distillation with Direct Preference Optimization for Efficient 3D LiDAR Scene Completion

AAAI 2026technical

The slow sampling speed of diffusion models hinders their application in 3D LiDAR scene completion. To address this, we propose Distillation-DPO, a novel framework that accelerates sampling through score distillation while simultaneously enhancing generation quality via preference alignment. Disti

Mean Flow Distillation: Robust and Stable Distillation for Flow Matching Models

ICML 2026poster

Flow Matching models have demonstrated strong performance across a wide range of generative tasks. However, their reliance on ODE-based iterative sampling incurs substantial computational overhead, which limits their applicability in real-time scenes. While distillation is a promising solution, exis…

Distilling Diffusion Models to Efficient 3D LiDAR Scene Completion

ICCV 2025poster

Diffusion models have been applied to 3D LiDAR scene completion due to their strong training stability and high completion quality. However, the slow sampling speed limits the practical application of diffusion-based scene completion models since autonomous vehicles require an efficient perception o…

Distribution Backtracking Builds A Faster Convergence Trajectory for Diffusion Distillation

ICLR 2025poster

Accelerating the sampling speed of diffusion models remains a significant challenge. Recent score distillation methods distill a heavy teacher model into a student generator to achieve one-step generation, which is optimized by calculating the difference between two score functions on the samples ge…

Domain-Invariant Projection Learning for Zero-Shot Recognition

NeurIPS 2018poster

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize unseen object classes without any training samples, which can be regarded as a form of transfer learning from seen classes to unseen ones. This is made possible by learning a projection between a feature space and a semantic space (e.g. attribute space). Ke…
