G2D2: Gradient-Guided Discrete Diffusion for Inverse Problem Solving

ICML 2026poster

Recent literature has effectively leveraged diffusion models trained on continuous variables as priors for solving inverse problems. Notably, discrete diffusion models with discrete latent codes have shown strong performance, particularly in modalities suited for discrete compressed representations,…

GUDA: Counterfactual Group-wise Training Data Attribution for Diffusion Models via Unlearning

ICML 2026poster

Training-data attribution for vision generative models aims to identify which training data influenced a given output. While most methods score individual examples, practitioners often need group-level answers (e.g., artistic styles or object classes). Group-wise attribution is counterfactual: how w…

Improved Object-Centric Diffusion Learning with Registers and Contrastive Alignment

ICLR 2026poster

Slot Attention (SA) with pretrained diffusion models has recently shown promise for object-centric learning (OCL), but suffers from slot entanglement and weak alignment between object slots and image content. We propose Contrastive Object-centric Diffusion Alignment (CODA), a simple extension that (…

SONA: Learning Conditional, Unconditional, and Matching-Aware Discriminator

ICLR 2026poster

Deep generative models have made significant advances in generating complex content, yet conditional generation remains a fundamental challenge. Existing conditional generative adversarial networks often struggle to balance the dual objectives of assessing authenticity and conditional alignment of i…

SPARO: Selective Attention for Robust and Compositional Transformer Encodings for Vision

ECCV 2024poster

"Selective attention helps us focus on task-relevant aspects in the constant flood of our sensory input. This constraint in our perception allows us to robustly generalize under distractions and to new compositions of perceivable concepts. Transformers employ a similar notion of attention in their a…

Autotts: End-to-End Text-to-Speech Synthesis Through Differentiable Duration Modeling

ICASSP 2023accepted

Parallel text-to-speech (TTS) models have recently enabled fast and highly-natural speech synthesis. However, they typically require external alignment models, which are not necessarily optimized for the decoder as they are not jointly trained. In this paper, we propose a differentiable duration met…

Improving Self-Supervised Learning for Audio Representations by Feature Diversity and Decorrelation

ICASSP 2023accepted

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has recently shown remarkable results in closing the gap between supervised and unsupervised learning. The idea is to learn robust features that are invariant to distortions of the input data. Despite its success, this idea can suffer from a collapsing issue where the…
