SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 899: Generative diffusion models: optimization\, generalization\, and fine-tuning
DESCRIPTION:About the speaker: Renyuan Xu is an assistant professor at the Department of Finance and Risk Engineering at New York University. Previously\, she was an assistant professor at the University of Southern California and a Hooke Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. She completed her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2019.\nHer research interests include stochastic analysis\, stochastic controls and games\, machine learning theory\, and mathematical finance. She received an NSF CAREER Award in 2024\, the SIAM Financial Mathematics and Engineering Early Career Award in 2023\, and a JP Morgan AI Faculty Research Award in 2022.\n\nAbstract: Generative diffusion models\, which transform noise into new data instances by reversing a Markov diffusion process in time\, have become a cornerstone of modern generative models. Notable successful applications include image generation (e.g.\, DALL-E 2 by OpenAI)\, audio synthesis (DiffWave and Grad-TTS)\, and financial time series forecasting (TimeGrad).\nA key component of these models is learning the associated Stein's score function. While the practical success of diffusion models is widely recognized\, the theoretical underpinnings are still in development. In particular\, it remains unclear whether gradient-based algorithms can learn the score function with provable accuracy. In this talk\, I will present a suite of non-asymptotic theory aimed at understanding the data generation process in diffusion models and the accuracy of score estimation. Our analysis addresses both the optimization and generalization aspects of the learning process\, establishing a novel connection to supervised learning and neural tangent kernels. If time permits\, I will also share recent results on fine-tuning diffusion models from a stochastic control perspective.\nThis talk is based on joint work with Yinbin Han (NYU) and Meisam Razaviyayn (USC).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nProteoglycans play an important role in extracellular matrix remodeling\, homeostasis\, and signaling. Due to their negatively charged glycosaminoglycan chains as well as distinct core protein structures\, they interact with a variety of molecules\, including matrix proteins\, growth factors\, cytokines and chemokines\, pathogens\, and enzymes.  Here we focus on two bioconjugates that were designed to mimic features of existing proteoglycans.  The first models the biological activity of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan\, decorin.  Like native decorin\, our decorin mimetic plays a key role in collagen organization and wound healing. Recently\, we have augmented the decorin mimetic with peptide ligands to the avb3  integrin receptor found on endothelial and endothelial progenitor cells. The avb3 ligand confers angiogenic activity to the decorin mimetic and supports wound healing in an ischemic environment in diabetic animals.  The second mimetic is designed to target inflamed endothelium to restore physical barrier function of the endothelial glycocalyx. By restoring barrier function\, the glycocalyx mimetic reduces intravascular thrombosis and inflammation thereby improving healing outcomes following ischemia reperfusion injury in animal models.\n\nBio:\nDr. Panitch received bachelor’s degrees from Smith College in Biochemistry and from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in Chemical Engineering.
