arXiv:2410. 01244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel Wasserstein-1 ($W_1$) path-space divergence for stochastic and deterministic dynamics and establish a Wasserstein Uncertainty Propagation (WUP) theorem that bounds the $W_1$ distance between terminal distributions by the proposed divergence, equivalently characterized by a weighted $L^2$ discrepancy between the underlying drifts and the $W_1$ distance between their initial measures.

arXiv:2606. 18509v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable generalization in conditional latent variable models requires understanding both identifiability and extrapolation: how observed variation across attributes determines latent structure, and how that structure determines distributions at unseen attributes.

arXiv:2608. 10172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability explains models by identifying circuits inside them, but has no way to tell whether a circuit is a property of the model or an artifact of the method that found it.

arXiv:2606. 16408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce MUNI, an end-to-end multimodal latent diffusion framework for any-to-any generation that unifies subset-conditioned cross-modal generation and unconditional joint sampling through a shared stochastic latent.

arXiv:2608. 25138v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stochastic masking, cropping, or modality removal makes deterministic reconstruction an incomplete target: one observation can admit many clean completions.

The paper shows that unsupervised representational alignment can fail due to symmetry in the stimulus geometry, even before data are collected. By using a design-time diagnostic based on the automorphism group of the geometry, the authors demonstrate that dense sampling can create near-duplicates that make alignment degenerate. Applying this diagnostic to a colour design reduces catastrophic alignment failures from 75% to 2% without altering models, layers, or solvers.
