A Geometric Framework for Understanding Memorization in Generative Models

ICLR 2025spotlight

As deep generative models have progressed, recent work has shown them to be capable of memorizing and reproducing training datapoints when deployed. These findings call into question the usability of generative models, especially in light of the legal and privacy risks brought about by memorization.…

CausalPFN: Amortized Causal Effect Estimation via In-Context Learning

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Causal effect estimation from observational data is fundamental across various applications. However, selecting an appropriate estimator from dozens of specialized methods demands substantial manual effort and domain expertise. We present CausalPFN, a single transformer that *amortizes* this workflo…

A Geometric Explanation of the Likelihood OOD Detection Paradox

ICML 2024poster

Likelihood-based deep generative models (DGMs) commonly exhibit a puzzling behaviour: when trained on a relatively complex dataset, they assign higher likelihood values to out-of-distribution (OOD) data from simpler sources. Adding to the mystery, OOD samples are never generated by these DGMs despit…

A Geometric View of Data Complexity: Efficient Local Intrinsic Dimension Estimation with Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

High-dimensional data commonly lies on low-dimensional submanifolds, and estimating the local intrinsic dimension (LID) of a datum -- i.e. the dimension of the submanifold it belongs to -- is a longstanding problem. LID can be understood as the number of local factors of variation: the more factors…
