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!




Congratulations to Metod Jazbec and the team on winning the ICLR QUESTION workshop's Best Paper Award! 🎓






#AISTATS2025 day 3 keynote by Akshay Krishnamurthy about how to do theory research on inference time compute 👍 AISTATS Conference


Back from AISTATS Conference in Thailand to my Zurich sabbatical—sipping coffee in the same spots Einstein once did. What a journey! Huge thanks to my entire AISTATS team: reviewers, ACs, senior ACs, and Chairs. It’s been amazing to work with you!


TL;DR: Guidance = variational optimal control. I'm excited to share the outcomes of this collaboration with Theofanis Karaletsos at the Mark Zuckerberg Initiative. All credit to my amazing students Farrin Marouf Sofian and Kushagra Pandey!
