Conditional Diffusion Models are Medical Image Classifiers that Provide Explainability and Uncertainty for Free

(In Review)

We explore class-conditional diffusion models for 2D medical image classification, introduce a majority voting scheme and demonstrate their competitive, explainable, and uncertainty-aware performance on CheXpert and ISIC datasets.

Beyond FVD: Enhanced Evaluation Metrics for Video Generation Quality

International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), 2025

We propose JEDi, the JEPA Embedding Distance. Our experiments on multiple open-source datasets show clear evidence that it is a superior alternative to the widely used FVD metric for generated video quality, requiring only 16% of the samples to reach its steady value, while increasing alignment with human evaluation by 34%, on average.

Electrochemical Analysis of High-Capacity Li-Ion Pouch Cell for Automotive Applications

SAE International

We develop and validate a temperature-dependent pseudo-2D electrochemical model for a high-capacity NMC pouch cell, analyzing its performance across temperatures (10°C-50°C) and C-rates to inform battery thermal management in electric vehicles.
