arXiv:2608. 11544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose CVaR-penalized Generative Particle Algorithm (CVaR-GPA), a robust, tail-agnostic algorithm for fine-tuning generative models to learn heavy-tailed distributions and capture extreme events, requiring no prior knowledge or estimation of the target's tail characteristics.

The paper investigates when conditional flow matching (CFM) can replace pointwise negative log-likelihood (NLL) calculations. It shows that for linear Gaussian paths, the endpoint NLL can be exactly decomposed into entropy, a weighted CFM objective, and residual terms, meaning CFM-only estimates are exact only when these residuals cancel. The study finds that ordinary CFM is generally not a pointwise NLL estimator, and even weighted variants may not fully eliminate bias, especially in training or on‑policy settings, with experiments confirming these theoretical insights.

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.
