Spectral Guidance for Flexible and Efficient Control of Diffusion Models

ICML 2026poster

We introduce Spectral Guidance, a framework for controlling diffusion models by leveraging the intrinsic geometry of the generative process. As data is progressively corrupted by noise, only a small number of features remain informative for control. We characterize them as the singular functions of …

Learning Visual-Semantic Subspace Representations

AISTATS 2025poster

Learning image representations that capture rich semantic relationships remains a significant challenge. Existing approaches are either contrastive, lacking robust theoretical guarantees, or struggle to effectively represent the partial orders inherent to structured visual-semantic data. In this pap…

Rotation Averaging in a Split Second: A Primal-Dual Method and a Closed-Form for Cycle Graphs

ICCV 2021poster

A cornerstone of geometric reconstruction, rotation averaging seeks the set of absolute rotations that optimally explains a set of measured relative orientations between them. In spite of being an integral part of bundle adjustment and structure-from-motion, averaging rotations is both a nonconvex a…
