Change Detection in Probability Flow ODE: Online Testing in Diffusion Latent Spaces

The paper introduces a sequential change‑point detection method for time‑ordered data where neither the pre‑ nor post‑change distributions have closed forms. It trains a conditional diffusion model on pre‑change data, uses its probability flow ODE to map observations to a Gaussian latent space, and then applies the Maximum Mean Discrepancy as a test statistic. The authors derive closed‑form components under the Gaussian null, establish the statistic’s asymptotic distribution as a degenerate U‑statistic, and implement an online Shiryaev–Roberts procedure with exact threshold calibration to detect arbitrary distributional shifts without parametric assumptions.

Conformal Changepoint Localization and Root Cause Analysis with Corrupted Observations

arXiv:2607. 26481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting when the statistical behavior of an engineered system changes, and identifying which component is responsible, are core problems in the monitoring of telecommunication networks, robotic platforms, security infrastructure, and multi-agent systems.
