∞-Diff: Infinite Resolution Diffusion with Subsampled Mollified States (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bond-Taylor, S., & Willcocks, C. G. (2024, May). ∞-Diff: Infinite Resolution Diffusion with Subsampled Mollified States. Presented at The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), Vienna Austria

This paper introduces ∞-Diff, a generative diffusion model defined in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, which can model infinite resolution data. By training on randomly sampled subsets of coordinates and denoising content only at those location... Read More about ∞-Diff: Infinite Resolution Diffusion with Subsampled Mollified States.

Unaligned 2D to 3D Translation with Conditional Vector-Quantized Code Diffusion using Transformers (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Corona-Figueroa, A., Bond-Taylor, S., Bhowmik, N., Gaus, Y. F. A., Breckon, T. P., Shum, H. P., & Willcocks, C. G. (2023, October). Unaligned 2D to 3D Translation with Conditional Vector-Quantized Code Diffusion using Transformers. Presented at ICCV23: 2023 IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision, Paris, France

Generating 3D images of complex objects conditionally from a few 2D views is a difficult synthesis problem, compounded by issues such as domain gap and geometric misalignment. For instance, a unified framework such as Generative Adversarial Networks... Read More about Unaligned 2D to 3D Translation with Conditional Vector-Quantized Code Diffusion using Transformers.

Unleashing Transformers: Parallel Token Prediction with Discrete Absorbing Diffusion for Fast High-Resolution Image Generation from Vector-Quantized Codes (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bond-Taylor, S., Hessey, P., Sasaki, H., Breckon, T., & Willcocks, C. (2022, October). Unleashing Transformers: Parallel Token Prediction with Discrete Absorbing Diffusion for Fast High-Resolution Image Generation from Vector-Quantized Codes. Presented at ECCV 2022: European Conference on Computer Vision, Tel Aviv, Israel

Whilst diffusion probabilistic models can generate high quality image content, key limitations remain in terms of both generating high-resolution imagery and their associated high computational requirements. Recent Vector-Quantized image models have...

Gradient Origin Networks (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bond-Taylor, S., & Willcocks, C. G. (2021, May). Gradient Origin Networks. Presented at International Conference on Learning Representations, Vienna / Virtual

This paper proposes a new type of generative model that is able to quickly learn a latent representation without an encoder. This is achieved using empirical Bayes to calculate the expectation of the posterior, which is implemented by initialising a... Read More about Gradient Origin Networks.

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 44(11), 7327-7347. https://doi.org/10.1109/tpami.2021.3116668

Deep generative models are a class of techniques that train deep neural networks to model the distribution of training samples. Research has fragmented into various interconnected approaches, each of which make trade-offs including run-time, diversit...

Shape tracing: An extension of sphere tracing for 3D non-convex collision in protein docking (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Leach, A., Rudden, L. S., Bond-Taylor, S., Brigham, J. C., Degiacomi, M. T., & Willcocks, C. G. (2020, December). Shape tracing: An extension of sphere tracing for 3D non-convex collision in protein docking. Presented at 2020 IEEE 20th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE)

This paper presents an algorithm, similar to implicit sphere tracing, that ray marches 3D non-convex shapes for efficient collision detection. Instead of finding points on the surface where individual rays strike, an entire shape is marched in unison...
