Abstract: Recently, Machine Learning (ML) approaches to data assimilation and modeling have been very successful in interpreting large amounts of data, such as human behavior prediction, marketing, etc. However, direct applications of machine...
Current LLM alignment techniques use pairwise human preferences at a sample level, and as such, they do not imply an alignment on the distributional level. We propose in this paper Alignment via Optimal Transport (AOT), a novel method for...
As in previous years, we will be running three preparation sessions to help you keep your math skills sharp and get you ready for the competition. The first preparation session will take place on Saturday, December 14th from 10am-12pm in Earth...
Gradient flows have emerged as a powerful framework for analyzing machine learning and statistical inference algorithms. Motivated by several applications in statistical inference, generative models, generalization, and robustness of learning...
