🚨 New Paper Alert, 🎤 Accepted for an oral presentation at the NeurIPS 2026 STODY workshop!
📣 Introducing: Normalizing Flow Maps (NFM): Combining few-step transport from Flow maps with tractable likelihoods from Normalizing Flows.
This is my first work with my first crop of new PhD students, @francescoshox and @tim_hitge, who genuinely knocked this project out of the park.
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.22711

Ever wondered how to make quasi-Newton methods practical for deep learning? Check out our new paper, SoftServe🍦!
Loved working on this with @dianarycai, @gowerrobert, and @tanyaisanumber during my Flatiron Institute internship this summer. Huge thanks to everyone!
How do we make quasi-Newton optimization methods practical for modern deep learning?
New preprint with @jooko303 @tanyaisanumber @gowerrobert on SoftServe -- a quasi-Newton method that designed for non-convex objectives, while also scaling to very large neural networks.

Tired to go back to the original papers again and again? Our monograph: a systematic and fundamental recipe you can rely on!
📘 We’re excited to release 《The Principles of Diffusion Models》— with @DrYangSong, @gimdong58085414, @mittu1204, and @StefanoErmon.
It traces the core ideas that shaped diffusion modeling and explains how today’s models work, why they work, and where they’re heading.
🧵You’ll find the link and a few highlights in the thread.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and join some discussions!
⚡ Stay tuned for our markdown version, where you can drop your comments!
