• Abstract summary: We present a non-parametric way of inferring differential equations for both regression tasks and continuous-time dynamical modelling. The work has high emphasis on the part of the differential equation, also known as the diffusion, and modelling it by means of Wishart processes.

• Abstract: We present a Bayesian non-parametric way of inferring stochastic differential equations for both regression tasks and continuous-time dynamical modelling. The work has high emphasis on the stochastic part of the differential equation, also known as the diffusion, and modelling it by means of Wishart processes. Further, we present a semi-parametric approach that allows the framework to scale to high dimensions. This successfully lead us onto how to model both latent and auto-regressive temporal systems with conditional heteroskedastic noise. We provide experimental evidence that modelling diffusion often improves performance and that this randomness in the differential equation can be essential to avoid overfitting.

  "Mixture" models in discrete diffusion are capable of treating dimensional correlations while remaining scalable. We empirically demonstrate that our proposed method for discrete diffusions work in practice, by distilling a continuous-time discrete diffusion model pretrained on the CIFAR-10 dataset.

  We learn differential equations whose stationary densities model a system's behavior under interventions. We show that they generalize to unseen interventions on their variables, often better than classical approaches. Our inference method is based on a new theoretical result that expresses a stationarity condition on the diffusion's generator in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space.

  We introduce HyperSINDy, a framework for modeling dynamics via a deep generative model of sparse governing equations from data. Once trained, HyperSINDy generates dynamics via a differential equation whose coefficients are driven by a white noise. In experiments, HyperSINDy recovers ground truth governing equations, with learnedity scaling to match that of the data.

  The proposed BSDE-based diffusion model represents a novel approach to diffusion modeling, which extends the application of differential equations (SDEs) in machine learning. We demonstrate the theoretical guarantees of the model, the benefits of using Lipschitz networks for score matching, and its potential applications in various areas such as diffusion inversion, conditional diffusion, and uncertainty quantification.
