• Abstract summary: This work presents an approach for the automatic detection of locally turbulent vortices within turbulent 2D flows such as instabilites. Specifically, the enstrophy of the flow is simplified by topological persistence, and the vortices are extracted by collecting the basins of the simplified enstrophy's Morse complex. We introduce a set of indicators based on the kinetic energy power spectrum to estimate the correlation between the vortex's behavior and that of an idealized turbulent vortex.

• Abstract: This work presents an approach for the automatic detection of locally turbulent vortices within turbulent 2D flows such as instabilites. First, given a time step of the flow, methods from Topological Data Analysis (TDA) are leveraged to extract the geometry of the vortices. Specifically, the enstrophy of the flow is simplified by topological persistence, and the vortices are extracted by collecting the basins of the simplified enstrophy's Morse complex. Next, the local kinetic energy power spectrum is computed for each vortex. We introduce a set of indicators based on the kinetic energy power spectrum to estimate the correlation between the vortex's behavior and that of an idealized turbulent vortex. Our preliminary experiments show the relevance of these indicators for distinguishing vortices which are turbulent from those which have not yet reached a turbulent state and thus known as laminar.

  This paper investigates energy guidance in generative modeling, where the target distribution is defined as $q(mathbf x) propto p(mathbf x)exp(-beta mathcal E(mathcal x))$, with $p(mathbf x)$ being the data distribution and $mathcal E(mathcal x)$ as the energy function. We introduce energy-weighted flow matching (EFM), a method that directly learns the energy-guided flow without the need for auxiliary models. We extend this methodology to energy-weighted

  We develop a framework for non-asymptotic analysis of deterministic samplers used for diffusion generative modeling. We show that one step along the probability flow ODE can be expressed as two steps: 1) a restoration step that runs ascent on the conditional log-likelihood at some infinitesimally previous time, and 2) a degradation step that runs the forward process using noise pointing back towards the current gradient.

• Leveraging Global Parameters for Flow-based Neural Posterior Estimation [90.21090932619695]
  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
