The Interplay of Data Structure and Imbalance in the Learning Dynamics of Diffusion Models
Real-world datasets differ across classes in both structure and frequency, but most theory for diffusion models assumes homogeneous...
A theory lab forunderstandinglearning systems.
We use statistical physics, probability, and computer science to understand why learning systems generalise, fail, and develop bias, and how to build safer and more intelligent AI.

Position: the Stochastic Parrot in the Coal Mine. Model Collapse is a Threat to Low-Resource Communities
Model collapse can degrade generative models when they are trained on outputs from earlier models. This position paper...

We are accepting applications from master's students at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg for a thesis project on learning dynamics, bias, and optimisation in machine learning. See our opportunities page or read the full listing and apply.
Flavio and Stefano are presenting the lab work at ROCKIN' AI 3.0 in Roccella Ionica, Italy!
Our fourth School on Analytical Connectionism is about to begin in Gothenburg. Stefano and Flavio are among the organisers, while Chenxiao joins the two-week programme as a participant. Looking forward to it!
Flavio and Chenxiao will present our preprint on how data structure and imbalance shape learning in diffusion models at the Learning Theory Summer School workshop in Copenhagen.
Meet the group.
We work across machine learning, statistical physics, cognitive science, and high-dimensional probability at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg, with active links to Wits.
