Denoising as Projection: Constrained Optimization with Gradient-Guided Diffusion

The proposed update incorporates the objective gradient inside the denoising step, yielding an inference-time method that uses only a pretrained denoiser and gradient evaluations and is analyzed as an inexact projected-gradient method for constrained optimization over learned feasible geometries.

Manifold-Constrained Noise Optimization for Diverse Diffusion Sampling

MoNO is proposed, a training-free method that performs Manifold-constrained Noise Optimization on a low-dimensional, quality-stabilizing noise manifold that combines Riemannian updates on an affine low-frequency sphere to preserve prior likelihood and fix unstable high-frequency components by construction.

Explaining f-Divergence-Based Regularization via Local Curvature and Sharpness-Aware Minimization

Divergence-based regularization and Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) are two prominent approaches for improving generalization in deep learning, both motivated by robustness to perturbations. However, their relationship has remained largely unexplored. Building on classical second-order expansions of $f$-divergences,...

RODR: Riemannian Orthogonally Decoupled Regularization for Disentangled Manifold Representation

This work introduces Riemannian Orthogonally Decoupled Regularization (RODR) to reformulate the optimization trajectory by disentangling the normal (fitting) and tangential (distribution) components and establishes a generic and interpretable framework for disentangled geometric optimization in point cloud processing.

High-order accurate inference on manifolds

This work develops a bootstrap algorithm on Riemannian manifolds that is both computationally efficient and accurate for hypothesis testing and confidence region construction, and establishes high-order asymptotics under an appropriate coordinate representation induced by a second-order retraction.
