arXiv:2607. 27723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Engression (Shen and Meinshausen, 2024) learns a conditional distribution by fitting a generative model $Y = f(X,\varepsilon)$ under the energy score, a strictly proper scoring rule.
The paper presents a theoretical framework for approximating ratio-type functionals that arise in conditional generative modeling, specifically when the target density is expressed as a ratio of two kernel-based marginal densities. It proves that deep neural networks using the SignReLU activation can approximate these ratios with established L^p(Omega) bounds and convergence rates under standard regularity assumptions. Applying the framework to Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models, the authors construct a SignReLU-based estimator for the reverse process and derive bounds on the excess Kullback–Leibler risk, decomposing it into approximation and estimation errors to provide generalization guarantees for finite-sample training.

The paper introduces Distribution‑Conditioned Transport (DCT), a framework that learns transport maps conditioned on embeddings of source and target distributions, allowing generalization to unseen distribution pairs. DCT supports semi‑supervised learning for distributional forecasting by leveraging distributions observed at only one condition. It is agnostic to the transport mechanism and is demonstrated on synthetic benchmarks and four biological applications, including batch effect transfer in single‑cell genomics and modeling T‑cell receptor sequence evolution.

The paper introduces Particle GFlowNets, showing that Generative Marginalization Models (MaMs) are equivalent to Generative Flow Networks. It extends MaMs to non‑autoregressive sampling and proposes an automatic full‑state rejuvenation criterion based on the Gelman‑Rubin statistic to accelerate learning. Experiments demonstrate significant training speedups in large combinatorial spaces.
