We study the problem of sampling from target distributions whose potentials are simultaneously non-smooth, subject to superlinear gradient growth, and non-convex. We introduce the Subgradient Tamed Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (SG-TULA), a discretisation of the Langevin diffusion that operates directly on subgradients, without relying on computationally demanding smoothing procedures.
We address the problem of efficiently sampling multimodal probability distributions, where standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods often suffer from poor mixing and mode trapping. To mitigate these issues, we propose Gradient-free Riemannian Langevin Sampler (GRiLS), a novel proposal that improves exploration without requiring gradient evaluations of the target density.

arXiv:2607. 23012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: During SGD training, the gradients often align strongly with the dominant subspace spanned by the top-$k$ eigenvectors of the Hessian of the loss.
arXiv:2511. 11927v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a standard tool for extracting a low-rank signal from noisy observations.
arXiv:2405. 18220v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tensor-based discrete density estimation requires flexible modeling and proper divergence criteria to enable effective learning; however, traditional approaches using $\alpha$-divergence face analytical challenges due to the $\alpha$-power terms in the objective function, which hinder the derivation of closed-form update rules.
arXiv:2606. 00413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) makes high-dimensional regression tractable by projecting the covariates onto a low-dimensional subspace that preserves the conditional mean of the response.
arXiv:2606. 10085v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Matrix-valued time series arise in a wide range of applications, such as spatio-temporal data from medical imaging and geophysics.
