Discrete Bayesian Sample Inference for Graph Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Generating graph-structured data is crucial in applications such as molecular generation, knowledge graphs, and network analysis. However, their discrete, unordered nature makes them difficult for traditional generative models, leading to the rise of discrete diffusion and flow matching models. In t…

Flow Matching with Gaussian Process Priors for Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting

ICLR 2025poster

Recent advancements in generative modeling, particularly diffusion models, have opened new directions for time series modeling, achieving state-of-the-art performance in forecasting and synthesis. However, the reliance of diffusion-based models on a simple, fixed prior complicates the generative pro…

UnHiPPO: Uncertainty-aware Initialization for State Space Models

ICML 2025poster

State space models are emerging as a dominant model class for sequence problems with many relying on the HiPPO framework to initialize their dynamics. However, HiPPO fundamentally assumes data to be noise-free; an assumption often violated in practice. We extend the HiPPO theory with measurement noi…

From Zero to Turbulence: Generative Modeling for 3D Flow Simulation

ICLR 2024poster

Simulations of turbulent flows in 3D are one of the most expensive simulations in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Many works have been written on surrogate models to replace numerical solvers for fluid flows with faster, learned, autoregressive models. However, the intricacies of turbulence in t…

Add and Thin: Diffusion for Temporal Point Processes

NeurIPS 2023poster

Autoregressive neural networks within the temporal point process (TPP) framework have become the standard for modeling continuous-time event data. Even though these models can expressively capture event sequences in a one-step-ahead fashion, they are inherently limited for long-term forecasting appl…

Learning the Dynamics of Physical Systems from Sparse Observations with Finite Element Networks

ICLR 2022spotlight

We propose a new method for spatio-temporal forecasting on arbitrarily distributed points. Assuming that the observed system follows an unknown partial differential equation, we derive a continuous-time model for the dynamics of the data via the finite element method. The resulting graph neural netw…

Scalable Optimal Transport in High Dimensions for Graph Distances, Embedding Alignment, and More

ICML 2021spotlight

The current best practice for computing optimal transport (OT) is via entropy regularization and Sinkhorn iterations. This algorithm runs in quadratic time as it requires the full pairwise cost matrix, which is prohibitively expensive for large sets of objects. In this work we propose two effective…
