Really excited to see this. I’ve been involved since the early AABI days, and it’s been incredible to see the trajectory — from NeurIPS/ICML workshops, to a symposium, and now to a full conference as ProbML. Huge thanks to the program/general chairs and the whole organizing team!

Scientific Inference with Diffusion Generative Models YouTube video by LEAP

Recently gave a @leapstc.bsky.social lecture at Columbia and at UCLA on a question I’m excited about: How can we design diffusion models for scientific inference—uncertainty-aware, calibrated, steerable, and heavy-tailed? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeLZ...

Just gave a talk on Scientific Inference with Diffusion Models at ETH AI Center, sharing our recent work—from test-time control and distributional matching to uncertainty calibration. Great crowd, thoughtful questions, nice view. Thanks, Julia Vogt, for hosting!

Thrilled to share that my student Justus Will and former student Yibo Yang had their work selected as an ICLR 2025 Oral (top 2%)!

Presenting the first runtime-efficient progressive coding method using diffusion models. 👇

Excited to start my sabbatical at ETH Zurich! The CS department treated me to a beautiful apartment. In exchange, I brought the California sun with me. 😎

Happy to announce three #ICLR2025 papers:
1️⃣ Heavy-tailed diffusion models (Kushagra Pandey
+ #Nvidia collaborators)
2️⃣ Progressive Compression w/ Universally Quantized Diffusion (Yibo Yang + Justus Will)
3️⃣ AstroCompress Benchmark (with UC Berkeley Physicists)
More details soon! 🚀

Congratulations to newly minted PhD, Gavin Kerrigan, @gavinkerrigan.bsky.social . Not too hard to spot who Gavin is in the photo alongside his thesis committee.
