Robustness and Structure Preservation in Flow-Based Generative Models via Wasserstein Path-Space Divergences

arXiv:2410. 01244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel Wasserstein-1 ($W_1$) path-space divergence for stochastic and deterministic dynamics and establish a Wasserstein Uncertainty Propagation (WUP) theorem that bounds the $W_1$ distance between terminal distributions by the proposed divergence, equivalently characterized by a weighted $L^2$ discrepancy between the underlying drifts and the $W_1$ distance between their initial measures.

Conditional-Independence-Regularized Distributional Autoencoders for Mixed-Type Data

The paper introduces Conditional-Independence-Regularized Distributional Autoencoders, a framework for learning low-dimensional representations of mixed-type data that includes both numerical and categorical variables. It uses an energy-score objective for numerical variables, a likelihood objective for categorical variables, and an auxiliary conditional independence regularization term to capture dependencies between variable types. The authors provide theoretical analysis and demonstrate that the method improves categorical distribution recovery, achieves competitive overall conditional distribution recovery, and preserves mixed-type dependence structure on synthetic and real-world datasets.
