Probabilistic Inference for Controlling Diffusion Models

Probabilistic Inference for Controlling Diffusion Models

An in-depth presentation on controlling diffusion models during inference, categorizing techniques into sequential and parallel families. The talk explores both approximate and exact probabilistic inference methods, highlighting their underlying principles, computational trade-offs, and applications in areas like rare event sampling and protein design. A practical roadmap is provided for selecting the most suitable control strategy based on objective and computational resources.

Ex-Google Cloud AI Boss: Your Data Is the Real Moat

Andrew Moore, CEO of Lovelace AI, discusses YottaGraph, a rapidly growing, automatically constructed knowledge graph designed as a context engine for enterprise AI agents. He highlights Lovelace's differentiation from public knowledge graphs by focusing on integrating private enterprise data, the engineering challenges of entity resolution and fast multi-hop reasoning, and the critical importance of graph amendability and auditability for mission-critical applications. Moore also touches upon the future of computer science education, advocating for product management skills and emphasizing the strategic importance of domestically developed open-weights models.
