Mean-Shift Distillation for Diffusion Mode Seeking

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Vikas Thamizharasan, Nikitas Chatzis, Iliyan Georgiev, Matthew Fisher, Difan Liu | Summary: We present mean-shift distillation, a novel diffusion distillation technique that provides a provably good proxy for the gradient of the diffusion output distribution. This is derived directly from mean-shift mode seeking on the distribution, and […]

Solving quadratic binary optimization problems using quantum SDP methods: Non-asymptotic running time analysis

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Fabian Henze, Viet Tran, Birte Ostermann, Richard Kueng, Timo de Wolff | Summary: Quantum computers can solve semidefinite programs (SDPs) using resources that scale better than state-of-the-art classical methods as a function of the problem dimension. At the same time, the known quantum algorithms scale very unfavorably […]
