Just returned from an inspiring three weeks at AIMS (aims.ac.za) in Cape Town, where I taught Generative AI with @eijkelboomfloor.bsky.social.

I was really impressed with these students, who are engaged, very hard working, and asked some of the best questions that I have ever had in class!

Super happy to share our work was accepted as an Oral at the Delta Workshop @ ICLR 2025! 🎉

Can’t wait to talk about it in Singapore 😎

Congrats to the amazing team @eijkelboomfloor.bsky.social @alisometry.bsky.social @erikjbekkers.bsky.social 🔥

Variational Flow Matching goes Riemannian! 🔮

In this preliminary work, we derive a variational objective for probability flows 🌀 on manifolds with closed-form geodesics, and discuss some interesting results.

I'll be at Neurips too! 🦚 Hmu if you want to chat about (variational) flow matching or physics inspired generative modeling!

I will be at NeurIPS this week. @amlab.bsky.social will be presenting 10 papers in total, and I myself am involved with 3 (see thread).

I am also *hiring* for a postdoc position on data-efficient surrogate models for fluid dynamics. Come talk to me if you are on the market!

Great introduction to diffusion and flow matching + some recent works from our lab 🐙

Christian A. Naesseth @canaesseth.bsky.social · Dec 3

Thanks all who helped out and commented in this thread with tips and tricks!

I gave a talked recently on some work we have been doing in the lab that incorporated aspects from several of the responses.

Yesterday @ellisamsterdam.bsky.social hosted the yearly NeurIPS-Fest, a pre-party for NeurIPS with a keynote talk, poster session, drinks and bites! 🍺🍻

The keynote was by @canaesseth.bsky.social , who talked about "Diffusion, Flows and other stories", presenting his 5 papers accepted at NeurIPS! 💥

Thanks to the organizers and participants for such an inspiring event and poster session! 🤩

The drinks and snacks were also well appreciated, as @maxxxzdn.bsky.social demonstrates 😉
