CDD Ingénieur Foundations Of Generative Modeling H/F INRIA

CDD ingénieur 2 mois: Foundations of generative modeling

Niveau de diplôme exigé : Bac +5 ou équivalent

Fonction : Ingénieur scientifique contractuel

Mission confiée

- Explore theoretical connections between different families of generative models
- Implement hybrid prototypes combining the strengths of GANs and diffusion models
- Develop robust evaluation protocols to quantify improvements
- Contribute to the development of novel theoretical frameworks`

Principales activités

For better knowledge of the proposed research topic:Relevant scientific references are available in our recent publication "Unifying GANs and score-based diffusion as generative particle models" (NeurIPS 2023) and "Improving consistency models with generator-augmented flows" (arXiv 2024).

Proposed Research Directions

- Scaling hybrid GAN-diffusion models from prototype to state-of-the-art quality
- Extending theoretical links between diffusion and GANs by removing simplifying hypotheses
- Investigating the gap between one-step generator training and diffusion distillation
- Extending diffusion distillation to more general multi-step models like flow matching

Compétences

- Strong background in machine/deep learning and mathematics
- Knowledge of computer vision and image processing
- Familiarity with generative models (GANs, diffusion, consistency models) and deep learning architectures (CNNs, transformers)
- Proficiency in Python and experience with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch and/or JAX)
- Appetite for theoretical and applied scientific research
- Ability to conduct exploratory research with significant autonomy
