arXiv:2607. 28864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tree-based diffusion models fit flexible conditional predictive distributions for tabular regression without a neural density estimator, but they inherit their design defaults---noising path, parameterization, training distribution, features, sampler---from the neural setting.

arXiv:2606. 01078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transport MCMC trains a normalizing flow to precondition Metropolis--Hastings proposals, achieving high empirical efficiency on challenging posteriors; yet no prior work produces a numerically non-vacuous, rigorous spectral-gap bound for such samplers.

The paper shows that Worst‑Case Optimal Recovery (OR) and Bayesian learning solve the same Gaussian‑quadratic‑Hilbert problems, linking the radius of information to a nugget‑optimized Gaussian process posterior variance. It evaluates three Bayesian systems, demonstrating that OR can outperform Bayesian methods in certain calibration and reproducibility metrics, yet split‑conformal and other approaches can beat OR in interval scoring, especially under covariate shift. The authors propose matching the guarantee tool to the data regime and auditing that regime first.

Score Entropy Discrete Diffusion (SEDD) parameterizes discrete reverse processes with unconstrained positive score ratios. While positivity guarantees nonnegative reverse jump rates, it does not ensure Bayes realizability: ratios at a noisy state need not be jointly induced by any clean-token posterior under the forward kernel.

FB‑GDM is a fully‑Bayesian guided diffusion method that eliminates the need for task‑specific hyperparameter tuning in linear inverse problems. It derives a closed‑form conditional score from a Gaussian approximation of ΦGDM, treating two precision parameters as latent variables inferred via variational inference at each reverse step. Experiments on CelebA‑HQ show that FB‑GDM outperforms ΦGDM at its nominal setting, matches a ground‑truth‑calibrated oracle within 0.1 dB, and remains robust to changes in the forward operator, noise level, or image distribution without hallucinations.

arXiv:2607. 04113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow-matching samplers integrate a learned probability-flow ODE from a large noise scale down to a small terminal floor $\sigma_{\min}$, at which the score is stiff and the flow develops a boundary layer.
