arXiv:2606. 01078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transport MCMC trains a normalizing flow to precondition Metropolis--Hastings proposals, achieving high empirical efficiency on challenging posteriors; yet no prior work produces a numerically non-vacuous, rigorous spectral-gap bound for such samplers.
arXiv:2606. 04307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian models with finite symmetry - mixture models with exchangeable components, structural identification with closely-spaced modes - define posteriors that are invariant under a group of label permutations, creating redundant multimodality that degrades MCMC convergence diagnostics.
arXiv:2605. 23434v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Approximate inference over inducing variables is the central computational bottleneck of Deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs).
The paper introduces a new Markov chain Monte Carlo method that samples from multimodal distributions by interpolating along the diffusion path of a noising diffusion process, preserving mode weights and improving mixing. It proposes a Metropolis-adjusted diffusion path (MAD-Path) sampler that corrects for bias from approximate score estimates and discretization errors, ensuring the target distribution remains invariant. Experiments on Bayesian posteriors demonstrate that MAD-Path outperforms tempering-based MCMC and unadjusted diffusion samplers in global exploration and accurate mode-weight estimation.
arXiv:2607. 16811v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Drift detectors that work tend not to explain themselves, and drift detectors that explain themselves tend to fail in high dimension.
arXiv:2607. 03809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Normalising flows provide a powerful variational family for approximate inference, yet individual architectures often fail to generalise across heterogeneous posterior geometries.
