arXiv:2605. 09075v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although the Laplace approximation offers a simple route to uncertainty quantification in deep neural networks, its reliance on inverting large Hessian matrices has motivated a range of computationally feasible low-dimensional or sparse approximations.

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.

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.
