Fine-Tuning Generative Models for Extreme Events via CVaR-Penalized Wasserstein Gradient Flows

arXiv:2608. 11544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose CVaR-penalized Generative Particle Algorithm (CVaR-GPA), a robust, tail-agnostic algorithm for fine-tuning generative models to learn heavy-tailed distributions and capture extreme events, requiring no prior knowledge or estimation of the target's tail characteristics.

On the approximation of posterior laws in compound loss models by conditional Wasserstein GANs

The paper introduces a conditional Wasserstein GAN to approximate posterior distributions in compound loss models, conditioning on sufficient statistics, prior mean, coefficient of variation, and mixture weights. A single generator can learn the posteriors for both Poisson intensity and Pareto shape parameters across Gamma, inverse‑Gaussian, and lognormal priors. The authors validate the approach with simulation‑based calibration, analytical comparisons, and extensive MCMC, and apply it to extreme natural catastrophe loss data to generate rolling one‑year posterior predictive distributions and assess tail risk under heavy‑tailed severity and prior uncertainty.
