Discrete Spatial Diffusion: Intensity-Preserving Diffusion Modeling

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Generative diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in producing high-quality images. However, these models typically operate in continuous intensity spaces, diffusing independently across pixels and color channels. As a result, they are fundamentally ill-suited for applications involving i…

Model-Agnostic Knowledge Guided Correction for Improved Neural Surrogate Rollout

ICLR 2025poster

Modeling the evolution of physical systems is critical to many applications in science and engineering. As the evolution of these systems is governed by partial differential equations (PDEs), there are a number of computational simulations which resolve these systems with high accuracy. However, as…

Blackout Diffusion: Generative Diffusion Models in Discrete-State Spaces

ICML 2023poster

Typical generative diffusion models rely on a Gaussian diffusion process for training the backward transformations, which can then be used to generate samples from Gaussian noise. However, real world data often takes place in discrete-state spaces, including many scientific applications. Here, we de…
