Dimension-free Private Mean Estimation for Anisotropic Distributions

NeurIPS 2024poster

We present differentially private algorithms for high-dimensional mean estimation. Previous private estimators on distributions over $\mathbb{R}^d$ suffer from a curse of dimensionality, as they require $\Omega(d^{1/2})$ samples to achieve non-trivial error, even in cases where $O(1)$ samples suffic…

Maximizing utility in multi-agent environments by anticipating the behavior of other learners

NeurIPS 2024poster

Learning algorithms are often used to make decisions in sequential decision-making environments. In multi-agent settings, the decisions of each agent can affect the utilities/losses of the other agents. Therefore, if an agent is good at anticipating the behavior of the other agents, in particular ho…

Ambient Diffusion: Learning Clean Distributions from Corrupted Data

NeurIPS 2023poster

We present the first diffusion-based framework that can learn an unknown distribution using only highly-corrupted samples. This problem arises in scientific applications where access to uncorrupted samples is impossible or expensive to acquire. Another benefit of our approach is the ability to train…

Consistent Diffusion Models: Mitigating Sampling Drift by Learning to be Consistent

NeurIPS 2023poster

Imperfect score-matching leads to a shift between the training and the sampling distribution of diffusion models. Due to the recursive nature of the generation process, errors in previous steps yield sampling iterates that drift away from the training distribution. However, the standard training obj…

Score-Guided Intermediate Level Optimization: Fast Langevin Mixing for Inverse Problems

ICML 2022spotlight

We prove fast mixing and characterize the stationary distribution of the Langevin Algorithm for inverting random weighted DNN generators. This result extends the work of Hand and Voroninski from efficient inversion to efficient posterior sampling. In practice, to allow for increased expressivity, we…

Statistical Estimation from Dependent Data

ICML 2021spotlight

We consider a general statistical estimation problem wherein binary labels across different observations are not independent conditioning on their feature vectors, but dependent, capturing settings where e.g. these observations are collected on a spatial domain, a temporal domain, or a social networ…
