Amortized Structured Stochastic Variational Inference for Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models

Many machine learning methods aim to approximate the lower-dimensional manifold on which the data lives. A desirable feature of such methods is that they should capture the epistemic uncertainty of this learned manifold. One model that achieves this is the Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model, in which a Gaussian Pro...

When Is Accuracy Evidence? A Unified Theory of Generalisation, Validation, and Information Fusion

K-fold cross-validation (CV) is widely used as evidence of out-of-sample performance, although folds are neither independent experiments nor equally informative under heterogeneous data. Cross Upper-Bound Validation (CUBV) replaces point-wise CV accuracy by conservative upper bounds on true risk. Here we generalise CUB...

Iterating Consistency Models: Stability, Error Bounds and Noise Schedules

Consistency models (CMs) have become a leading approach for generating high-quality samples in few steps. However, adding steps can improve or degrade sample quality in ways that are highly sensitive to the schedule and that existing theory does not fully explain. To provide accuracy guarantees and guide CM sampler des...

DAWIS: Data Assimilation with Windowed Inverse Sampling via Multitask Interpolants

Flow- and diffusion-based generative models have recently emerged as flexible and highly efficient forecasting models for dynamical systems. When combined with inference-time guidance, they offer a promising route to high-dimensional non-Gaussian data assimilation (DA), the problem of combining forecasts with observati...

SDECast: Probabilistic Weather Forecasting in Continuous Time with Neural SDEs

Existing machine learning weather forecasting models typically generate forecasts through autoregressive rollouts at a fixed temporal resolution. While highly efficient for long-range prediction, this formulation can suffer from severe error accumulation when used with shorter time steps and does not explicitly encode...

Near-Optimal Convex Optimization with Lazy Second-Order Oracles

A novel method is proposed that achieves a new upper bound of $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(m+ m+ m^{1/7} \epsilon^{-2/7})$ and significantly improves the prior one (Chen, Liu, Luo, and Zhang, COLT 2026), which significantly improves the prior one.

Predictively Oriented Gaussian Process Posteriors

Gaussian Processes (GPs) are a powerful tool for modelling and quantifying uncertainty in functional relationships. However, they require practitioners to make a number of design decisions, such as the choice of the kernel and the observation model. Suboptimal choices can produce misspecified models that do not capture...

Invariance of Clustering Operations in Causal Effect Identification

Clustering variables in causal graphs reduces the size of the graph and simplifies causal inference. However, arbitrary clustering can alter crucial causal relations among variables and lead to erroneous conclusions. While the identifiability of a causal effect in the clustered graph implies the identifiability in the...

GTDD: Generative Test-Driven Development for AI Coding Agents with Adversarial Testing

Test-driven development gives AI coding agents executable requirements for implementing software. Because these agents can adapt their implementations to the examples they observe, passing a predetermined collection of tests can leave substantial parts of the intended behavior unimplemented. We propose Generative Test-...

Hold-Out Scoring for Efficient Gaussian DAG Learning

High-dimensional Gaussian DAG learning faces a statistical-computational gap: methods with sharp sample complexity rely on computationally expensive subset search and a supplied indegree bound, whereas polynomial-time alternatives have less favorable sample complexity. We introduce HOST, an efficient DAG learning algor...

High-Dimensional Asymptotics and Dataset Selection for Private Transfer Learning

To commit to buying external data or participate in collaborative learning, one must decide whether the additional data will improve prediction enough to justify the cost. This comes with several challenges: (i) the decision often relies only on aggregated statistics available publicly, rather than individual-level dat...

ENCORE: Exact Non-equilibrium COntrol with Replica Exchange for Diffusion Generation

Inference-time control steers a pretrained generative model towards a target distribution without retraining. We study tilted targets $\pi_0\propto G_0\,p_0$, where $p_0$ is the sampler output distribution and $G_0$ is an evaluable reweighting function. Existing approaches rely on sequential annealing with sequential M...
