Did you know that the skrub Data Ops support Optuna as backend to run hyperparameter search? It's as easy as writing "backend='optuna'": this will set up a default Optuna study (and the TPE sampler) to replace the standard random sampler.

Openreview opened the door to continuous and major revisions that nobody has time to check properly. I think that we should come back to short one pdf page replies to reviews. It would mean having decisions quicker so that we actually have time to work on papers before resubmitting them.

The JMLR story and operating model should be widely known in academia as a clear success story for full open access. I have friends in the humanities and pure sciences that have no clue this is even possible

🌀🌀🌀New paper on the generation phases of Flow Matching arxiv.org/abs/2510.24830 Are FM & diffusion models nothing else than denoisers at every noise level? In theory yes, *if trained optimally*. But in practice, do all noise level equally matter? with @annegnx.bsky.social, S Martin & R Gribonval

Kickstarting our workshop on Flow matching and Diffusion with a talk by Eric Vanden Eijnden on how to optimize learning and sampling in Stochastic Interpolants! Broadcast available at gdr-iasis.cnrs.fr/reunions/mod...

My paper on Generalized Gradient Norm Clipping & Non-Euclidean (L0, L1)-Smoothness (together with collaborators from EPFL) was accepted as an oral at NeurIPS! We extend the theory for our Scion algorithm to include gradient clipping. Read about it here arxiv.org/abs/2506.01913

Our work on the generalization of Flow Matching got an oral at Neurips ! Go see @quentinbertrand.bsky.social present it there :)

🔥 Excited to announce the Workshop on the Principles of Generative Models at @euripsconf.bsky.social (the European conference parallel to NeurIPS 2025) 🇩🇰 Dec 6–7, Copenhagen 📝 Deadline for contributions: Oct 17 🔗 Website: sites.google.com/view/prigm-e...

One-day workshop on Diffusion models and Flow matching, October 24th at @ensdelyon.bsky.social Registration and call for contributions (short talk and poster) are open at gdr-iasis.cnrs.fr/reunions/mod...

Super elegant approach !

New paper on the generalization of Flow Matching www.arxiv.org/abs/2506.03719 🤯 Why does flow matching generalize? Did you know that the flow matching target you're trying to learn *can only generate training points*? w @quentinbertrand.bsky.social @annegnx.bsky.social @remiemonet.bsky.social 👇👇👇

It was received quite enthusiastically here so time to share it again!!! Our #ICLR2025 blog post on Flow Matching was published yesterday : iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/co... My PhD student @annegnx.bsky.social will present it tomorrow in ICLR, 👉poster session 4, 3 pm, #549 in Hall 3/2B 👈

The proximal operator generalizes projection in convex optimization. It converts minimisers to fixed points. It is at the core of nonsmooth splitting methods and was first introduced by Jean-Jacques Moreau in 1965. www.numdam.org/article/BSMF...

🚢🚢 deepinv v0.3.0 is here, with many new features! 🚢 🚢 Our passionate team of contributors keeps shipping more exciting tools! Deepinverse (deepinv.github.io) is a library for solving imaging inverse problems with deep learning.

I had a blast giving a summer school on generative models at AI Hub Senegal, in particular flow matching, with @quentinbertrand.bsky.social and @remiemonet.bsky.social Our material is publicly available !!! github.com/QB3/SenHubIA... ensdelyon.bsky.social

Wow, this tutorial is really a tour de force! The one I had written is super "dumbed down" as a basic intro for beginners, but to really learn the material on an intermediate/advanced level, you should check out this post...

Our paper "PnP-Flow: Plug-and-Play Image Restoration with Flow Matching" has been accepted to ICLR 2025. Here a short explainer: We want to restore images (i.e., solve inverse problems) using pretrained velocity fields from flow matching. However, using change of variables is super costly.

every cool thing I've ever done happened because I had one-or-two people I could constantly annoy with messages like "ooh look what I found" "ooh look what I learned" "ooh look what I broke" and who did the same in return

Anne Gagneux, Ségolène Martin, @quentinbertrand.bsky.social Remi Emonet and I wrote a tutorial blog post on flow matching: dl.heeere.com/conditional-... with lots of illustrations and intuition! We got this idea after their cool work on improving Plug and Play with FM: arxiv.org/abs/2410.02423

Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma in action: it is possible to embed any cloud of N points from R^d into R^k without distorting their respective distances too much, provided k is not too small (independently of d!) Better: any random Gaussian embedding works with high proba!

This year, there are 16 positions at CNRS in computer science (8 in "applied" domains → ask me - 8 on "fundamental" domains → ask the other David). @mathurinmassias.bsky.social has a good list of advice mathurinm.github.io/cnrs_inria_a... Official 🔗 www.ins2i.cnrs.fr/en/cnrsinfo/... Don't wait!

Conditioning of a function = ratio between highest and smallest eigenvalues of its Hessian. Higher conditioning => harder to minimize the function Gradient Descent gets faster on function with decreasing conditioning L/mu 👇
