Clustering in Deep Stochastic Transformers

ICML 2026spotlight

Transformers have revolutionized deep learning across various domains but understanding the precise token dynamics remains a theoretical challenge. Existing theories of deep Transformers with layer normalization typically predict that tokens cluster to a single point; however, these results rely on …

Optimal Stopping in Latent Diffusion Models

ICML 2026poster

We identify and analyze a surprising phenomenon of $\textit{Latent}$ Diffusion Models (LDMs) where the final steps of the diffusion can $\textit{degrade}$ sample quality. In contrast to conventional arguments that justify early stopping for numerical stability, this phenomenon is intrinsic to the di…

Diversity-Rewarded CFG Distillation

ICLR 2025poster

Generative models are transforming creative domains such as music generation, with inference-time strategies like Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) playing a crucial role. However, CFG doubles inference cost while limiting originality and diversity across generated contents. In this paper, we introduce…

Generative Adversarial Equilibrium Solvers

ICLR 2024poster

We introduce the use of generative adversarial learning to compute equilibria in general game-theoretic settings, specifically the generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) in pseudo-games, and its specific instantiation as the competitive equilibrium (CE) in Arrow-Debreu competitive economies. Pseudo-game…

Conditional Loss and Deep Euler Scheme for Time Series Generation

AAAI 2022technical

We introduce three new generative models for time series that are based on Euler discretization of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) and Wasserstein metrics. Two of these methods rely on the adaptation of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to time series. The third algorithm, called Condi…

Scalable Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Mean Field Games

ICML 2022spotlight

Mean Field Games (MFGs) have been introduced to efficiently approximate games with very large populations of strategic agents. Recently, the question of learning equilibria in MFGs has gained momentum, particularly using model-free reinforcement learning (RL) methods. One limiting factor to further…

Fictitious Play for Mean Field Games: Continuous Time Analysis and Applications

NeurIPS 2020poster

In this paper, we deepen the analysis of continuous time Fictitious Play learning algorithm to the consideration of various finite state Mean Field Game settings (finite horizon, $\gamma$-discounted), allowing in particular for the introduction of an additional common noise. We first present a th…
