The paper introduces a new optimal transport framework that uses the Barron energy—an intrinsic neural network complexity measure—instead of the traditional kinetic energy. By modeling transport as deep residual networks that map a reference distribution to a target distribution, the authors define a new metric on probability measures and analyze its properties for generative modeling. They demonstrate that diffusion generative models are suboptimal in this Barron geometry and explore how adaptivity can improve alternative generative approaches.

arXiv:2609. 01166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The present research is devoted to the nonparametric estimation of a density-dependent drift coefficient in a multivariate McKean--Vlasov diffusion from independent observations at a common time, as well as the stationary density.

The paper presents sample complexity bounds for sampling high‑dimensional categorical distributions with local dependence using discrete diffusions. It introduces a pinning decomposition of the discrete score, enabling a weight‑sharing neural score learner combined with τ‑leaping for efficient end‑to‑end sampling. The authors derive explicit guarantees that depend on vocabulary size, MRF interaction order, and sample size, and demonstrate that weight‑sharing networks outperform fully connected ones on Potts, Ising, and tree‑structured models.
