new preprint on solvation free energies: tl;dr: We define an interpolating density by its sampling process, and learn the corresponding equilibrium potential with score matching. arxiv.org/abs/2410.15815 with @francoisfleuret and @tristanbereau (1/n)

1/8) Better flow-matching samples. No retraining. Just multiply the velocity. Same model. Same 25 steps. 1.15× velocity takes FID from 28.0 to 8.7. Unguided SiT-XL/2, ImageNet-256. Velocity Scaling in Flow Matching, with @francoisfleuret. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.10823

PhD position in Heidelberg: generating amorphous molecular thin films with diffusion models rather than waiting for MD to equilibrate them — free energies from the same model. With U. Köthe. 3 years, funded. Physics degree required. tristanbereau.com/positions/…

Can we improve energy-based diffusion models by solving a classification task? 🤔 🚀 Excited to share DiffCLF, accepted at ICML 2026 🇰🇷! ! We predict a sample’s noise level, and recover densities as a by-product. Joint work with @theh2o64 (co-lead) and @jmhernandez233. [🧵1/n]

1/ What happens when a denoiser trained at one noise level is reused inside an iterative sampler? We trained SwinIR with Noise2Noise at σ=10, then dropped it unchanged into the constrained sampler of @ZKadkhodaie & @EeroSimoncelli (NeurIPS ’21) for 10% random inpainting. Baseline SwinIR: 6.08 dB on Set12. SwinIR-WNE: 23.87 dB. Same backbone. Same N2N pairs. Same sampler. With François Fleuret @francoisfleuret. ICML 2026. 🧵

Now accepted at #NeurIPS2025! We basically speed up diffusion models for sampling molecular conformations by 30x :) More exciting stuff coming soon!
Really excited to (finally) share the updated JAMUN preprint and codebase! We perform Langevin molecular dynamics in a smoothed space which allows us to take larger integrator steps. This requires learning a score function only at a single noise level, unlike diffusion models.

🚀 After two years of intense research, we’re thrilled to introduce Skala — a scalable DL density functional that hits chemical accuracy on atomization energies and matches hybrid-level performance on main group chemistry — all at the cost of a semi-local functional. ⚛️🔥🧪⚗️🧬

The approach is tested on the estimation of hydration free energies of rigid water and methane (LJ + Coulomb interactions). We find good agreement with experimental reference values. (9/n)

Finally, we also look at what happens if we predict the hydration free energy of methane using the potential that was trained on water (and vice versa). (10/10)

That’s a wrap! 🤩🙏🏻 Thank you everyone for making this possible and so enjoyable! Stay tuned for a second edition in a couple of years! 😉 #ML4PhysChem #workshop #generativeAI #AI4Science

To build the next generation of intelligent agents, developing efficient world models is essential. We introduce Δ-IRIS, an agent that learns behaviors by imagining millions of trajectories in its world model. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2406.19320 Code: github.com/vmicheli/delta-ir… 🧵👇

Given the estimates of the canonical free energies at fixed particle count we end up with a grand canonical sampler at any choice of the chemical potential. (5/n)

To validate all this, we compare the estimates of the average density and the excess chemical potential to grand canonical MC simulations. (6/n)
