Differentiable Image Parameterizations

2018-07-25 · Distill 2018 7 · Alexander Mordvintsev, Nicola Pezzotti, Ludwig Schubert, Chris Olah

Typically, we parameterize the input image as the RGB values of each pixel, but that isn’t the only way. As long as the mapping from parameters to images is differentiable, we can still optimize alternative parameterizations with gradient descent. Differentiable image parameterizations invite us to ask “what kind of image generation process can we backpropagate through?” The answer is quite a lot, and some of the more exotic possibilities can create a wide range of interesting effects, including 3D neural art, images with transparency, and aligned interpolation. Previous work using specific unusual image parameterizations has shown exciting results — we think that zooming out and looking at this area as a whole suggests there’s even more potential.

Adjoint-based online learning of two-layer quasi-geostrophic baroclinic turbulence

2024-11-21 · Fei Er Yan, Hugo Frezat, Julien Le Sommer, Julian Mak 외

For reasons of computational constraint, most global ocean circulation models used for Earth System Modeling still rely on parameterizations of sub-grid processes, and limitations in these parameterizations affect the mo…

Zero-Shot Function Encoder-Based Differentiable Predictive Control

2025-11-07 · Hassan Iqbal, Xingjian Li, Tyler Ingebrand, Adam Thorpe 외 arxiv

Variational Entropic Optimal Transport

2026-02-02 · Roman Dyachenko, Nikita Gushchin, Kirill Sokolov, Petr Mokrov 외 arxiv

Entropic optimal transport (EOT) in continuous spaces with quadratic cost is a classical tool for solving the domain translation problem. In practice, recent approaches optimize a weak dual EOT objective depending on a s…
