Generative Modeling, the Alignment Problem, and Real-World- and Physics-Inspired AI Systems

My current interests include diffusion and flow matching, controllable generation, sampling dynamics, ODE/SDE probability transport, the alignment problem, scientific machine learning, and physics- and real-data-inspired AI training and system building. I am particularly enthusiastic about algorithms and operator-based methods, while continuing to build deeper theoretical and practical foundations in these areas.

Independent coursework project · 2026

Diffusion, Flow Matching, and CRH-CFG

I independently completed the publicly available coursework and assignments from CMU 10-799, Diffusion and Flow Matching.

CRH-CFG architecture: a reliability gate chooses between bypass and a constrained search over classifier-free guidance scales, followed by Heun predictor-corrector execution and receding-horizon replanning.
CRH-CFG performs training-free, inference-time search and control over classifier-free guidance scales.
Implemented
DDPM, straight-path Flow Matching, DDIM, Euler and Heun samplers, and conditional classifier-free guidance.
Experiment setting
CelebA 64×64; Modal L40S; independent ResNet-18 evaluator.
Abstract
CRH-CFG adapts classifier-free guidance online through constrained receding-horizon search, reusing frozen conditional and unconditional fields without extra generator evaluations. On CelebA, it modestly improves target adherence at low overhead; preservation and conditional-quality gains are not yet supported.
