BayesNDE is a neural density estimator that uses Bayesian generative modeling to estimate densities without relying on invertible networks or Jacobian-determinant calculations. It constructs an adaptive proposal for each observation by inferring a sample-specific latent posterior, and then applies bridge sampling to combine proposal samples with separate posterior samples for density estimation. Experiments on synthetic datasets show improved density estimation and structure recovery, while real-world applications demonstrate better anomaly detection.

arXiv:2606. 11844v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual anomaly detection in tabular data is challenging and remains largely underexplored, particularly in settings with heterogeneous feature schemas, distribution shifts, and severe class imbalance.
arXiv:2603. 10823v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep generative models can help with data scarcity and privacy by producing synthetic training data, but they struggle in low-data, imbalanced tabular settings to fully learn the complex data distribution.
Hierarchical data is ubiquitous in the empirical sciences and is most commonly analyzed with generalized linear mixed-effects models (GLMMs). Bayesian inference for GLMMs yields calibrated uncertainty...

The paper investigates how synthetic pretraining priors used in tabular foundation models (TFMs) influence downstream performance. By reconstructing the synthetic data generators of four TFMs and comparing their generated tasks to two popular tabular benchmarks using structural descriptors, the authors measure structural coverage and normalized density. They find that some generators provide broader and denser support for benchmark tasks, and that stronger synthetic-to-benchmark support generally correlates with better model performance.
arXiv:2603. 23016v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tabular data is more challenging to generate than text and images, due to its heterogeneous features and much lower sample sizes.
arXiv:2607. 03809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Normalising flows provide a powerful variational family for approximate inference, yet individual architectures often fail to generalise across heterogeneous posterior geometries.
