abstract

Unsupervised learning of probabilistic models is a central yet challenging problem in machine learning. Specifically, designing models with tractable learning, sampling, inference and evaluation is crucial in solving this task. We extend the space of such models using real-valued non-volume preserving (real NVP) transformations, a set of powerful invertible and learnable transformations, resulting in an unsupervised learning algorithm with exact log-likelihood computation, exact sampling, exact inference of latent variables, and an interpretable latent space. We demonstrate its ability to model natural images on four datasets through sampling, log-likelihood evaluation and latent variable manipulations.

When Does LeJEPA Learn a World Model?

stat.ML · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

LeJEPA achieves linear identifiability of latent variables uniquely when the latents are Gaussian in worlds with stationary additive-noise transitions.

Generative Modeling with Flux Matching

cs.LG · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

On the Invariance and Generality of Neural Scaling Laws

cs.LG · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Neural scaling laws are invariant under bijective data transformations and change predictably with information resolution ρ under non-bijective transformations, enabling cross-domain transport of fitted exponents.

Risk-Controlled Post-Processing of Decision Policies

stat.ML · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Risk-controlled post-processing yields a threshold-structured policy that follows the baseline except where an oracle fallback sharply reduces conditional violation risk, achieving O(log n/n) expected excess risk in i.i.d. settings and exact risk control under exchangeability.

Flow-Based Conformal Predictive Distributions

stat.ML · 2026-02-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Differentiable nonconformity scores induce flows that sample conformal prediction set boundaries, and mixing flows across levels produces conformal predictive distributions whose quantiles match the sets.
