Leveraging Gauge Freedom for Learning Non-Gradient Population Dynamics of Stochastic Systems

ICML 2026poster

In existing works on population dynamics inference, there is a focus on flows arising from vector fields that are the gradients of scalar potentials. Among all admissible flows that are compatible with the population dynamic, gradient flows are optimal in a specific sense: they minimize kinetic ener…

Stochastic Lifting for Generating Trajectories of Stochastic Physical Systems

ICML 2026poster

Many stochastic physical systems evolve smoothly over time in the sense that the distribution of states changes regularly with time. The precise transition from current to next state is often modeled as the interplay of a smooth map and an explicit source of randomness. Stochastic Lifting leverages …

Two-Parameter Flows for Learning Population Dynamics of Physical Systems

ICML 2026poster

This work addresses the problem of learning the dynamics of high-dimensional probability densities over time using unlabeled samples, without assuming access to trajectory information. We introduce two-parameter flows that learn only sampling-time transports from a base distribution to each marginal…

Parametric model reduction of mean-field and stochastic systems via higher-order action matching

NeurIPS 2024poster

The aim of this work is to learn models of population dynamics of physical systems that feature stochastic and mean-field effects and that depend on physics parameters. The learned models can act as surrogates of classical numerical models to efficiently predict the system behavior over the physics…
