arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.
arXiv:2608. 04234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of aligning data from multiple modalities into a shared representation space, focusing on settings where strong pretrained unimodal encoders are available but cross-modal paired data are scarce.
arXiv:2602. 04272v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Importance-Weighted Evidence Lower Bound (IW-ELBO) has emerged as an effective objective for variational inference (VI), tightening the standard ELBO and mitigating the mode-seeking behaviour.
arXiv:2509. 09371v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) protects statistical learning against distributional shifts by optimizing the worst-case performance over a set of perturbed distributions.
arXiv:2602. 02241v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Entropic optimal transport (EOT) in continuous spaces with quadratic cost is a classical tool for solving the domain translation problem.
arXiv:2605. 07914v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sharpness-aware and gradient-alignment methods have been shown to improve generalization, however each family of methods targets a single geometric property of the loss landscape, while ignoring the other.
