Distributional Determinantal Point Process for Repulsive Clustering of Distributions

arXiv:2607. 21847v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the distributional determinantal point process (dDPP) as a novel repulsive point process whose atoms are probability distributions rather than points in a real space.

Measuring Spatial Clustering via Metropolis-Hastings Diffusion Distance

arXiv:2607. 14880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a novel measure of the discrepancy between two probability distributions $f$ and $g$ on a graph - which we call the diffusion distance - that measures the rate of convergence of $f$ to $g$ under a graph-constrained Markov chain with stationary distribution $g$.

Wasserstein Filtering: A Sample Selection Method for Robust Distribution Learning

Given a dataset where a portion of the samples are contaminated, our goal is to recover the underlying clean population distribution. To this end, we propose Wasserstein Filtering (WF), a novel sample selection framework that discards a fraction of suspicious samples and estimates the target distribution using the empirical measure of the remaining data.

The Observable Wasserstein Distance

arXiv:2605. 09916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal transport in large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets.

Variational Consensus Monte Carlo for Bayesian Mixture

arXiv:2606. 19643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the privacy, sensitivity and sharing limitations of health data, we present a comprehensive pipeline for inference of Bayesian mixture models within a federated learning setting, i.
