Copula Transformations for Data-Consistent Inversion

The paper introduces a copula-based framework to relate Data‑Consistent Inversion (DCI) and its iterative variant (iDCI). By applying Sklar’s theorem, the authors factor the DCI update into marginal and dependence components, showing that any remaining discrepancy after iDCI convergence is fully captured by the copulas of the observed and predicted joint distributions. They prove that an exact copula transformation recovers the original DCI solution and provide convergence results for approximate transformations, supported by numerical examples illustrating adaptive refinement and progressive problem refinement.

Towards Diverse and Comprehensive Benchmarks for Mutual Information Estimation

arXiv:2607. 03487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mutual information (MI) estimation is a central problem in machine learning and statistics; however, existing benchmarks typically evaluate estimators on simplified, low-dimensional distributions, leaving their performance on complex, realistic data largely unexplored.

TiRex-2: Generalizing TiRex to Multivariate Data and Streaming

arXiv:2607. 01204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce TiRex-2, a recurrent xLSTM-based time series foundation model that generalizes the univariate TiRex to multivariate forecasting with both past and future covariates.

Localized Anomaly Detection via Differentiable D-vine Copulas

Vine copulas provide a flexible framework for modeling complex multivariate distributions through a hierarchical decomposition into bivariate pair-copulas. Fitting a D-vine requires selecting a copula family and parameter configuration for each pair-copula from a set of candidates encoding different dependence patterns.

Personalized Federated Hierarchical Gaussian Processes for Privacy-Preserving Modeling of Heterogeneous Distributed Systems

The paper introduces Personalized Federated Hierarchical Gaussian Processes (pFedHGP), a method for probabilistic regression and classification on data distributed across heterogeneous clients. Each client’s latent function is split into a shared global component, a client‑specific deviation that shares the global kernel, and a flexible local residual. Using sparse inducing‑variable approximations and federated variational inference, raw data remain local while the server exchanges only low‑dimensional statistics, enabling full predictive distributions for uncertainty‑aware decisions. In experiments, pFedHGP achieves perfect fault classification in press tonnage monitoring with only 13.77% of labeled cycles and accurately recovers geographic zones in federated air‑quality modeling without centralizing station‑level time series.
