• Abstract: Temporal prediction is inherently uncertain, but representing the ambiguity in natural image sequences is a challenging high-dimensional probabilistic inference problem. For natural scenes, the curse of dimensionality renders explicit density estimation statistically and computationally intractable. Here, we describe an implicit regression-based framework for learning and sampling the conditional density of the next frame in a video given previous observed frames. We show that sequence-to-image deep networks trained on a simple resilience-to-noise objective function extract adaptive representations for temporal prediction. Synthetic experiments demonstrate that this score-based framework can handle occlusion boundaries: unlike classical methods that average over bifurcating temporal trajectories, it chooses among likely trajectories, selecting more probable options with higher frequency. Furthermore, analysis of networks trained on natural image sequences reveals that the representation automatically weights predictive evidence by its reliability, which is a hallmark of statistical inference

  We show that diffusion models can be adapted to make predictions and provide uncertainty quantification for chaotic dynamical systems. We develop a probabilistic approximation scheme for the conditional score function which converges to the true distribution as the noise level decreases. We are able to sample conditionally on nonlinear userdefined events at inference time, and matches data statistics even when sampling from the tails of the distribution.

  We propose a category-level 6-DoF pose estimation algorithm that simultaneously detects and tracks instances of objects within a known category. Our method takes as input the previous and current frame from a monocular video RGB, as well as predictions from the previous frame, to predict the bounding cuboid and pose. Our framework allows the system take previous uncertainties into consideration when predicting current frame, resulting in predictions that are more accurate stable than single frame methods.
