Variance Reduction for Non-Log-Concave Sampling with Applications to Inverse Problems

arXiv:2606. 16257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sampling from high-dimensional, non-log-concave distributions with unnormalized densities is a fundamental challenge in machine learning, particularly when the exact gradient of the potential is unavailable and must be approximated via stochastic gradients that exhibit high variance under a fixed budget of gradient computations per iteration.

Regularized Large Neighborhood Search

arXiv:2606. 02294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Operations research practitioners typically tackle NP-hard combinatorial problems using large neighborhood search (LNS), a scalable heuristic that iteratively refines a current solution by locally re-optimizing subsets of its variables.
