This problem is exacerbated in state-of-the-art 3D shape generative models that operate in increasingly high-dimensional latent spaces where valid shapes occupy a vanishingly small fraction of the full space. Existing mitigation strategies, including latent regularization and flow-matching approaches, either sacrifice expressiveness, demand a difficult trade-off between objective guidance and generative fidelity that remains prone to manifold drift, or are computationally infeasible to scale to modern, large-capacity 3D shape models. We introduce a novel optimizer-corrector framework that alternates between gradient steps for objective minimization and guided flow matching to drive the latent state back to the valid shape manifold. By decoupling objective minimization from flow-based correction, optimizing freely and correcting strictly, this alternating design avoids inherent trade-offs, preserving geometric validity without sacrificing expressiveness while remaining computationally feasible on modern 3D shape models. We demonstrate its effectiveness across generative priors of varying complexity, from simple vector latent spaces to large-scale architectures across a variety of downstream optimization tasks, including aerodynamic drag reduction and object compliance optimization.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-22T13:14:54", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-22T13:14:54", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 333", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20333", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Emilien Seiler", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120840/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71932, "title": "Failure-Aware LLM Serving for Agentic Workloads", "slug": "failure-aware-llm-serving-for-agentic-workloads", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/failure-aware-llm-serving-for-agentic-workloads", "visual_url": null, "visual_large_url": null, "visual_maxsize_url": null, "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-17", "end_date": "2026-06-17", "start_time": "09:00:00", "end_time": "11:00:00", "description": "<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Anastasia Ailamaki<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. Anne-Marie Kermarrec<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Robert West<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>ReAct (<a href=\"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03629\" target=\"_blank\">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03629</a>)</li>\r\n\t<li>Agentix (<a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/system/files/nsdi26-luo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.usenix.org/system/files/nsdi26-luo.pdf</a>)</li>\r\n\t<li>Why do multi-agent systems fail?

With memory accounting for nearly 50% of server costs in modern data centres, provisioning large DRAM capacities significantly increases total cost of ownership (TCO). Tiered memory architectures combine memories with different capacities, latencies, and cost characteristics to improve cost efficiency while satisfying application performance requirements. Application performance in these architectures is highly sensitive to page placement decisions. Consequently, making informed placement decisions requires precise tracking of data access patterns and accurate identification of hot pages.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nExisting operating systems commonly rely on hardware-maintained access bits in page table entries to estimate memory access behaviour and identify hot data regions. They periodically scan the application's entire virtual address space to construct workload access profiles. However, linear scanning of page table access bits does not scale for modern applications with terabyte-scale memory footprints. Since scanning overhead scales with the memory footprint, a single full scan can take several seconds for workloads with large memory footprints. Reducing scanning frequency lowers monitoring overhead but also decreases profiling accuracy and responsiveness to changing access patterns, resulting in a fundamental tradeoff between profiling accuracy and monitoring overhead. Therefore, we need scalable, low-overhead mechanisms for access monitoring in next-generation memory management systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will discuss recent approaches to scalable memory access profiling in large-memory systems. Specifically, I will present works that use techniques such as adaptive sampling, region-based monitoring, and hierarchical profiling of page table trees to reduce and bound scanning overhead. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\ncoming soon", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-22T13:08:29", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-22T13:18:11", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 010", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20010", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "<br>\r\nArunkrishna Annai Madalam Sivasubramanian ", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120838/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71930, "title": "Generative models for black-box optimization of complex objectives", "slug": "generative-models-for-black-box-optimization-of-co", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/generative-models-for-black-box-optimization-of-co", "visual_url": null, "visual_large_url": null, "visual_maxsize_url": null, "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-07-09", "end_date": "2026-07-09", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Nicolas Flammarion<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. Pascal Fua<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Alexander Mathis<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\nMany high-impact problems in science and engineering reduce to optimizing a complex objective, where each evaluation is costly and often unreliable: physical experiments fail, simulators diverge, and stochastic systems return noisy feedback. Classical black-box optimizers struggle in this regime, where evaluation budgets are tight and the feasible region is hard to characterize a priori. Our work investigates how the statistical expressivity of modern generative samplers can be leveraged in black-box optimization. We propose that these samplers enable efficient navigation of feasible sets and optimization of geometrically complex objectives under limited, unreliable observations. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nTwo complementary lines of work have already been studied. The main one, SPARROW, demonstrated that a sampler-driven optimizer can substantially reduce the number of function calls needed to maximize complex and unreliable objectives. A parallel line established that samplers can be steered to satisfy hard constraints without sacrificing the statistical diversity of the generated samples. Because SPARROW imposes minimal assumptions on the underlying sampler, these constrained samplers can drive it directly, opening a path to constrained black-box optimization.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBuilding on these results, two directions are planned. The first is theoretical: a deeper mathematical study of sampler-driven optimization, drawing on the broader literature on sample-efficient black-box optimization, in order to derive stronger guarantees and more efficient algorithms.

In C. elegans, a compact nervous system enables brain-wide imaging in behaving animals exposed to controlled olfactory environments, and undulatory locomotion reduces navigation to transitions among forward runs, reversals, and turns. Here, we used brain-wide tracking microscopy to record neural activity in freely crawling worms navigating spatial odor gradients or isotropic environments, and in immobilized worms responding to temporal odor pulses. Across conditions, we identified strongly correlated brain-wide activity patterns spanning olfactory sensory neurons, interneurons, and premotor neurons. Motor-state transitions and brain-wide correlation structure differed between freely moving and immobilized animals, demonstrating that olfactory sensory representations depend jointly on sensory input, motor activity, and behavioral context. Together, these findings show that brain-wide representations of olfactory behavior are extensively reconfigured by sensory input, self-motion, and behavioral context.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-21T13:36:09", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-21T13:36:09", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "GA 3 21", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==GA%203%2021", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Aravinthan Samuel <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nDepartment of Physics & Center for Brain Science, Harvard University", "organizer": "Prof. Sahand Jamal Rahi <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nJohanni Brea <[email protected]>", "contact": "Prof. Sahand Jamal Rahi <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nJohanni Brea <[email protected]>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120823/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] } ] }
