Finite-Sample Approximation of Hessian-Guided Perturbed Wasserstein Gradient Flows

Wasserstein gradient flow extends gradient descent to probability measures. Its Hessian-guided perturbed variant (PWGF) adds Gaussian perturbations to escape saddle points in nonconvex problems. We investigate when its approximation by finitely many interacting particles remains accurate over growing time horizons. Our...

Learning Decision-Stump Thresholds in Context: Dynamics of Softmax Attention

Estimating a decision threshold requires locating observations near an unknown boundary. We study how gradient-based pretraining learns this statistical rule in a two-parameter softmax-attention model with a fixed feature and inequality direction. Pretraining uses labeled contexts and their true thresholds; a fresh thr...

Diffusion Transformers are Provably Optimal In-context Generators

Generative foundation models are attracting interest for their ability to produce desired outputs from demonstrations given at inference time, without updating parameters. However, since a few demonstrations cannot uniquely identify the intended task, the challenge is how to learn and sample from an output distribution...
