“Do Diffusion Models Dream of Electric Planes?” Discrete and Continuous Simulation-Based Inference for Aircraft Design

ICML 2026poster

In this paper, we generate conceptual engineering designs of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. We follow the paradigm of simulation-based inference (SBI), whereby we look to learn a posterior distribution over the full eVTOL design space. To learn this distribution, we must sa…

SpikingVTG: A Spiking Detection Transformer for Video Temporal Grounding

NeurIPS 2025poster

Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) aims to retrieve precise temporal segments in a video conditioned on natural language queries. Unlike conventional neural frameworks that rely heavily on computationally expensive dense matrix multiplications, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)—previously underexplored in…

Direct Amortized Likelihood Ratio Estimation

AAAI 2024technical

We introduce a new amortized likelihood ratio estimator for likelihood-free simulation-based inference (SBI). Our estimator is simple to train and estimates the likelihood ratio using a single forward pass of the neural estimator. Our approach directly computes the likelihood ratio between two compe…

Two Stream Active Query Suggestion for Active Learning in Connectomics

ECCV 2020poster

For large-scale vision tasks in biomedical images, the labeled data is often limited to train effective deep models. Active learning is a common solution, where a query suggestion method selects representative unlabeled samples for annotation, and the new labels are used to improve the base model. H…

Biologically-Constrained Graphs for Global Connectomics Reconstruction

CVPR 2019poster

Most current state-of-the-art connectome reconstruction pipelines have two major steps: initial pixel-based segmentation with affinity prediction and watershed transform, and refined segmentation by merging over-segmented regions. These methods rely only on local context and are typically agnostic t…
