arXiv:2608. 13096v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Limit order book (LOB) simulators are most useful to practitioners when they combine realistic market dynamics, computationally efficient sampling, controllable scenario generation, and the ability to generalize beyond the instruments seen during training---properties that existing agent-based and deep generative simulators provide only partially.

arXiv:2607. 07665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the standard way to strengthen class-conditioning in diffusion and flow-matching samplers, yet at large guidance it oversaturates and destabilizes, symptoms practitioners suppress with more steps or limited-interval schedules.

arXiv:2606. 14801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow-matching and diffusion policies are expressive action generators, but optimizing them with temporal-difference reinforcement learning (RL) remains difficult.

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the standard way to strengthen class-conditioning in diffusion and flow-matching samplers, yet at large guidance it oversaturates and destabilizes, symptoms practitioners suppress with more steps or limited-interval schedules. We analyze CFG through an asymptotic-preserving, numerical-analysis lens.
arXiv:2607. 28864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tree-based diffusion models fit flexible conditional predictive distributions for tabular regression without a neural density estimator, but they inherit their design defaults---noising path, parameterization, training distribution, features, sampler---from the neural setting.
