arXiv:2609. 01319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: At a junction, a score field can reveal weighted tangent rays, yet these first-order quantities do not determine how individual branches bend or how their densities change away from the center.

Abstract: Near a smooth data manifold, one tangent space summarizes local geometry. At a branch point, the corresponding first-order object is instead a measure...

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.

Diffusion and flow-matching samplers integrate a learned probability-flow ODE from a large noise scale down to a small terminal floor $σ_{\min}$, at which the score is stiff and the flow develops a boundary layer. We treat $σ_{\min}$ as a singular-perturbation parameter and determine which fixed-step samplers are asymptotic-preserving (AP), that is, stable and uniformly accurate as $σ_{\min}\to0$, casting the criteria as an a posteriori audit: residual functionals with $σ_{\min}$-uniform coefficients, computable on a pretrained checkpoint without ground-truth scores or exact trajectories.

EGGROLL replaces dense Gaussian perturbations in evolution strategies with low‑rank Gaussian products, enabling practical optimization of large language models while maintaining exactness on quadratic objectives. The paper analyzes the mean update field, error bounds, and shows that rank‑one perturbations add only a small variance penalty compared to dense ES. A new leave‑one‑out estimator, LOO‑ROLL, further reduces estimator MSE and improves post‑training performance on transformer blocks and GSM8K accuracy.
