arXiv:2510. 22778v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a free-probabilistic framework for denoising diffusion, in which the data is a self-adjoint operator and its law a spectral distribution.
arXiv:2606. 24157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^d$) of probability measures with finite second moment carries a natural geometry: the quadratic Wasserstein distance W_2 makes it a complete metric space and, following Otto, a (formal) Riemannian manifold whose geodesics are the optimal-transport interpolations.
arXiv:2608. 02799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score-based diffusion models are typically formulated using continuous-time stochastic differential equations and measure-theoretic stochastic calculus.
arXiv:2605. 17232v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete diffusion has become a leading framework for generative modeling in various applications including language, vision, and biology.
arXiv:2607. 24393v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Finite-time driving of stochastic systems generates excess dissipation, causing the evolving probability distribution to lag behind the instantaneous equilibrium, and consequently degrading the convergence of nonequilibrium free energy estimators based on the Jarzynski equality.
Finite-time driving of stochastic systems generates excess dissipation, causing the evolving probability distribution to lag behind the instantaneous equilibrium, and consequently degrading the convergence of nonequilibrium free energy estimators based on the Jarzynski equality. Escorted free energy simulations address the non-adiabatic lag by engineering control fields $\mathbf{u}$ that eliminate the lag, enforcing the trajectory-wise equality $\mathcal{W}_\mathbf{u} = Δ\mathcal{F}$, and yielding zero-variance estimators.
arXiv:2606. 16610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Flow Matching (DFM) has recently emerged as a versatile framework for generative modeling, yet its theoretical convergence properties remain only partially understood.
arXiv:2409. 08469v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We provide finite-particle convergence rates for the Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) algorithm in the Kernelized Stein Discrepancy ($\mathsf{KSD}$) and Wasserstein-2 metrics.
arXiv:2606. 28808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the leading-order fluctuation of stochastic gradient Euler-Maruyama estimators for generalized non-reversible Langevin dynamics.
arXiv:2505. 07124v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study inverse problems where an unknown potential is observed only through samples from the measure it induces by a convex variational principle.
arXiv:2606. 06179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score-based diffusion models are typically trained by minimizing the $L^2$ score matching error, and standard theoretical analyses rely on this quantity to bound the sampling discrepancy between the learned and target distributions.
arXiv:2606. 13796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recursive training of generative models on their own outputs can lead to model collapse, a compounding drift away from the true data distribution.
arXiv:2602. 17706v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion models learn data distributions indirectly through denoising, making the difficulty of generative modeling closely tied to the dependency structure of data.
