Active Budget Allocation for Efficient Scaling Law Estimation via Surrogate-Guided Pruning

ICML 2026poster

Predicting model performance at larger scales enables the design of training strategies and architectures tailored to specific performance targets. Empirical scaling law research identifies functional forms to aid this prediction task. These describe the relationship between loss and compute using a…

Pixel-Level Residual Diffusion Transformer: Scalable 3D CT Volume Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Generating high-resolution 3D CT volumes with fine details remains challenging due to substantial computational demands and optimization difficulties inherent to existing generative models. In this paper, we propose the Pixel-Level Residual Diffusion Transformer (PRDiT), a scalable generative framew…

Zero-Shot Performance Prediction for Probabilistic Scaling Laws

NeurIPS 2025poster

The prediction of learning curves for Natural Language Processing (NLP) models enables informed decision-making to meet specific performance objectives, while reducing computational overhead and lowering the costs associated with dataset acquisition and curation. In this work, we formulate the predi…

Perceiving Longer Sequences With Bi-Directional Cross-Attention Transformers

NeurIPS 2024poster

We present a novel bi-directional Transformer architecture (BiXT) which scales linearly with input size in terms of computational cost and memory consumption, but does not suffer the drop in performance or limitation to only one input modality seen with other efficient Transformer-based approaches.…

On Enforcing Better Conditioned Meta-Learning for Rapid Few-Shot Adaptation

NeurIPS 2022accept

Inspired by the concept of preconditioning, we propose a novel method to increase adaptation speed for gradient-based meta-learning methods without incurring extra parameters. We demonstrate that recasting the optimisation problem to a non-linear least-squares formulation provides a principled way t…

Rethinking Generalization in Few-Shot Classification

NeurIPS 2022accept

Single image-level annotations only correctly describe an often small subset of an image’s content, particularly when complex real-world scenes are depicted. While this might be acceptable in many classification scenarios, it poses a significant challenge for applications where the set of classes di…

Learning Topometric Semantic Maps from Occupancy Grids

IROS 2019poster

Today's mobile robots are expected to operate in complex environments they share with humans. To allow intuitive human-robot collaboration, robots require a human-like understanding of their surroundings in terms of semantically classified instances. In this paper, we propose a new approach for deri…
