Exploiting symmetries and invariance in data is a powerful, yet not fully exploited, way to achieve better generalisation with more efficiency. In this paper, we introduce two graph network architectures that are equivariant to several…

We propose SymDiff, a method for constructing equivariant diffusion models using the framework of stochastic symmetrisation. SymDiff resembles a learned data augmentation that is deployed at sampling time, and is lightweight,…

How diffusion models generalize beyond their training set is not known, and is somewhat mysterious given two facts: the optimum of the denoising score matching (DSM) objective usually used to train diffusion models is the score function of…

Statistical models that possess symmetry arise in diverse settings such as random fields associated to geophysical phenomena, exchangeable processes in Bayesian statistics, and cyclostationary processes in engineering. We formalize the…

The Collective Graphical Model (CGM) models a population of independent and identically distributed individuals when only collective statistics (i.e., counts of individuals) are observed. Exact inference in CGMs is intractable, and previous…

Guiding Vector Fields (GVFs) are a powerful tool for robotic path following. However, classical methods assume smooth, ordered curves and fail when paths are unordered, multi-branch, or generated by probabilistic models. We propose a…

Data augmentation is widely used in vision to introduce variation and mitigate overfitting, by enabling models to learn invariant properties. However, augmentation only indirectly captures these properties and does not explicitly constrain…

Equivariance is central to graph generative models, as it ensures the model respects the permutation symmetry of graphs. However, strict equivariance can increase computational cost due to added architectural constraints, and can slow down…
