Diving into Kronecker Adapters: Component Design Matters

ICML 2026poster

Kronecker adapters have emerged as a promising approach for fine-tuning large-scale models, enabling high-rank updates through tunable component structures. However, existing work largely treats the component structure as a fixed or heuristic design choice, leaving the dimensions and number of Krone…

Adaptive Discretization for Consistency Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Consistency Models (CMs) have shown promise for efficient one-step generation. However, most existing CMs rely on manually designed discretization schemes, which can cause repeated adjustments for different noise schedules and datasets. To address this, we propose a unified framework for the automat…

Fundamental Bias in Inverting Random Sampling Matrices with Application to Sub-sampled Newton

ICML 2025oral

A substantial body of work in machine learning (ML) and randomized numerical linear algebra (RandNLA) has exploited various sorts of random sketching methodologies, including random sampling and random projection, with much of the analysis using Johnson--Lindenstrauss and subspace embedding techniqu…

Textual and Visual Prompt Fusion for Image Editing via Step-Wise Alignment

ICASSP 2025accepted

The use of denoising diffusion models is becoming increasingly popular in the field of image editing. However, current approaches often rely on either image-guided methods, which provide a visual reference but lack control over semantic consistency, or text-guided methods, which ensure alignment wit…

Deep Equilibrium Models are Almost Equivalent to Not-so-deep Explicit Models for High-dimensional Gaussian Mixtures

ICML 2024poster

Deep equilibrium models (DEQs), as typical implicit neural networks, have demonstrated remarkable success on various tasks. There is, however, a lack of theoretical understanding of the connections and differences between implicit DEQs and explicit neural network models. In this paper, leveraging re…

Mitigating Label Bias in Machine Learning: Fairness through Confident Learning

AAAI 2024technical

Discrimination can occur when the underlying unbiased labels are overwritten by an agent with potential bias, resulting in biased datasets that unfairly harm specific groups and cause classifiers to inherit these biases. In this paper, we demonstrate that despite only having access to the biased lab…

Nonstationary Sparse Spectral Permanental Process

NeurIPS 2024poster

Existing permanental processes often impose constraints on kernel types or stationarity, limiting the model's expressiveness. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel approach utilizing the sparse spectral representation of nonstationary kernels. This technique relaxes the constraints on k…

Global Convergence of Over-parameterized Deep Equilibrium Models

AISTATS 2023poster

A deep equilibrium model (DEQ) is implicitly defined through an equilibrium point of an infinite-depth weight-tied model with an input-injection. Instead of infinite computations, it solves an equilibrium point directly with root-finding and computes gradients with implicit differentiation. In this…

Revisiting Logistic-softmax Likelihood in Bayesian Meta-Learning for Few-Shot Classification

NeurIPS 2023poster

Meta-learning has demonstrated promising results in few-shot classification (FSC) by learning to solve new problems using prior knowledge. Bayesian methods are effective at characterizing uncertainty in FSC, which is crucial in high-risk fields. In this context, the logistic-softmax likelihood is of…
