FALCON: Few-step Accurate Likelihoods for Continuous Flows

ICLR 2026oral

Scalable sampling of molecular states in thermodynamic equilibrium is a long-standing challenge in statistical physics. Boltzmann Generators tackle this problem by pairing a generative model, capable of exact likelihood computation, with importance sampling to obtain consistent samples under the tar…

Feynman-Kac Correctors in Diffusion: Annealing, Guidance, and Product of Experts

ICML 2025spotlight

While score-based generative models are the model of choice across diverse domains, there are limited tools available for controlling inference-time behavior in a principled manner, e.g. for composing multiple pretrained models. Existing classifier-free guidance methods use a simple heuristic to mix…

Progressive Inference-Time Annealing of Diffusion Models for Sampling from Boltzmann Densities

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

Sampling efficiently from a target unnormalized probability density remains a core challenge, with relevance across countless high-impact scientific applications. A promising approach towards this challenge is the design of amortized samplers that borrow key ideas, such as probability path design, f…

Iterated Denoising Energy Matching for Sampling from Boltzmann Densities

ICML 2024poster

Efficiently generating statistically independent samples from an unnormalized probability distribution, such as equilibrium samples of many-body systems, is a foundational problem in science. In this paper, we propose Iterated Denoising Energy Matching (iDEM), an iterative algorithm that uses a nove…

SE(3)-Stochastic Flow Matching for Protein Backbone Generation

ICLR 2024spotlight

The computational design of novel protein structures has the potential to impact numerous scientific disciplines greatly. Toward this goal, we introduce \foldflow, a series of novel generative models of increasing modeling power based on the flow-matching paradigm over $3\mathrm{D}$ rigid motions---…

Sequence-Augmented SE(3)-Flow Matching For Conditional Protein Generation

NeurIPS 2024poster

Proteins are essential for almost all biological processes and derive their diverse functions from complex $3 \rm D$ structures, which are in turn determined by their amino acid sequences. In this paper, we exploit the rich biological inductive bias of amino acid sequences and introduce FoldFlow++,…

Lie Point Symmetry and Physics-Informed Networks

NeurIPS 2023poster

Symmetries have been leveraged to improve the generalization of neural networks through different mechanisms from data augmentation to equivariant architectures. However, despite their potential, their integration into neural solvers for partial differential equations (PDEs) remains largely unexplor…
