Efficient Training of Boltzmann Generators Using Off-Policy Log-Dispersion Regularization

ICML 2026poster

Sampling from unnormalized probability densities is a central challenge in computational science. Boltzmann generators are generative models that enable independent sampling from the Boltzmann distribution of physical systems at a given temperature. However, their practical success depends on data-e…

Learning Boltzmann Generators via Constrained Mass Transport

ICLR 2026poster

Efficient sampling from high-dimensional and multimodal unnormalized probability distributions is a central challenge in many areas of science and machine learning. We focus on Boltzmann generators (BGs) that aim to sample the Boltzmann distribution of physical systems, such as molecules, at a given…

Conditional Normalizing Flows for Active Learning of Coarse-Grained Molecular Representations

ICML 2024poster

Efficient sampling of the Boltzmann distribution of molecular systems is a long-standing challenge. Recently, instead of generating long molecular dynamics simulations, generative machine learning methods such as normalizing flows have been used to learn the Boltzmann distribution directly, without…

Contextualized Policy Recovery: Modeling and Interpreting Medical Decisions with Adaptive Imitation Learning

ICML 2024poster

Interpretable policy learning seeks to estimate intelligible decision policies from observed actions; however, existing models force a tradeoff between accuracy and interpretability, limiting data-driven interpretations of human decision-making processes. Fundamentally, existing approaches are burde…

Augmenting Genetic Algorithms with Deep Neural Networks for Exploring the Chemical Space

ICLR 2020poster

Challenges in natural sciences can often be phrased as optimization problems. Machine learning techniques have recently been applied to solve such problems. One example in chemistry is the design of tailor-made organic materials and molecules, which requires efficient methods to explore the chemical…
