Fast Uncovering of Protein Sequence Diversity from Structure

ICLR 2025spotlight

We present InvMSAFold, an inverse folding method for generating protein sequences optimized for diversity and speed. For a given structure, InvMSAFold generates the parameters of a pairwise probability distribution over the space of sequences, capturing the amino acid covariances observed in Multipl…

Generative diffusion for perceptron problems: statistical physics analysis and efficient algorithms

NeurIPS 2025poster

We consider random instances of non-convex perceptron problems in the high-dimensional limit of a large number of examples $M$ and weights $N$, with finite load $\alpha = M/N$. We develop a formalism based on replica theory to predict the fundamental limits of efficiently sampling the solution space…

Manifolds, Random Matrices and Spectral Gaps: The geometric phases of generative diffusion

ICLR 2025poster

In this paper, we investigate the latent geometry of generative diffusion models under the manifold hypothesis. For this purpose, we analyze the spectrum of eigenvalues (and singular values) of the Jacobian of the score function, whose discontinuities (gaps) reveal the presence and dimensionality of…

Entropic gradient descent algorithms and wide flat minima

ICLR 2021poster

The properties of flat minima in the empirical risk landscape of neural networks have been debated for some time. Increasing evidence suggests they possess better generalization capabilities with respect to sharp ones. In this work we first discuss the relationship between alternative measures of fl…

Critical initialisation in continuous approximations of binary neural networks

ICLR 2020poster

The training of stochastic neural network models with binary ($\pm1$) weights and activations via continuous surrogate networks is investigated. We derive new surrogates using a novel derivation based on writing the stochastic neural network as a Markov chain. This derivation also encompasses existi…

Generalized Approximate Survey Propagation for High-Dimensional Estimation

ICML 2019oral

In Generalized Linear Estimation (GLE) problems, we seek to estimate a signal that is observed through a linear transform followed by a component-wise, possibly nonlinear and noisy, channel. In the Bayesian optimal setting, Generalized Approximate Message Passing (GAMP) is known to achieve optimal p…
