Maximum-Entropy Exploration with Future State-Action Visitation Measures

Maximum entropy reinforcement learning motivates agents to explore states and actions to maximize the entropy of some distribution, typically by providing additional intrinsic rewards proportional to that entropy function. In this paper, we study intrinsic rewards proportional to the entropy of the discounted distribut...

Sig-DEG for Distillation: Making Diffusion Models Faster and Lighter

Sig-DEG (Signature-based Differential Equation Generator), a generator for distilling pre-trained diffusion models, combines partial signatures that summarize Brownian motion over subintervals with a recurrent structure to approximate stochastic differential equation solutions to achieve universality.

GLL: A Differentiable Graph Learning Layer for Neural Networks

Standard deep learning architectures used for classification generate label predictions with a projection head and softmax activation function. Although successful, these methods fail to leverage the relational information between samples for generating label predictions. In recent works, graph-based learning technique...

Bellman Conformal Inference: Calibrating Prediction Intervals For Time Series

We introduce Bellman Conformal Inference (BCI), a framework that wraps around any time series forecasting models and provides calibrated prediction intervals. Unlike the existing methods, BCI is able to leverage multi-step ahead forecasts and explicitly optimize the average interval lengths by solving a one-dimensional...

Posterior Frequencies and the Cost of Not Fitting: A Correction to a Memorization Lower Bound

Feldman's memorization lower bound assigns a frequency coefficient based on how often a point appears in the training sample. We give an exact three-point counterexample to its conditional and averaged forms, using independent fair labels and a permutation-equivariant learner. A sequence of sampling priors makes the ra...

The minimal width of neural networks and immersions of real projective space

The minimal width of deep neural networks that can approximate all continuous functions from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$ in the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets is investigated, suggesting an intriguing connection between the approximation theory of neural networks and differential topology.

Mixed Poisson diffusion models and application to posterior sampling

Diffusion models are a powerful framework for learning complex probability distributions. While widely used diffusion models for continuous data rely on Gaussian noising processes, we instead develop diffusion models based on Poisson noise. More precisely, we introduce and study a new mathematical framework, called Mix...

Weighted Adjoint Matching: Finetuning Flow Matching Models with Time-Dependent Control Cost

We introduce Weighted Adjoint Matching, a method to finetune a pretrained diffusion or flow matching model given a differentiable reward. We derive it from Adjoint Matching, which reformulates finetuning as a stochastic optimal control problem with a quadratic control cost. Building on the observation that these models...

Minimax estimation of the pseudo-spectral gap of continuous Markov chains, with applications to empirical concentration bounds

We study the minimax estimation of the pseudo-spectral gap $\gamma_{ps}$ of a Markov chain from the observation of a single trajectory. Extending earlier works on finite-state space chains by Wolfer and Kontorovich (2024), we provide an estimator in the case of a compact, continuous state-space. Our estimator appears t...

Convergence Rates of Gaussian Process Thompson Sampling for Efficient Global Optimization

Efficient global optimization aims to identify a global optimum of an expensive black-box function within a limited evaluation budget $N$. We investigate the convergence rates of Gaussian process Thompson sampling (GP-TS) under noiseless observations, assuming a fixed objective function in a reproducing kernel Hilbert...

On the Optimisation Landscape of Overparameterised Weighted MMD

We study the optimisation landscape of the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) over weighted atomic measures. For the one-dimensional Gaussian kernel, we show that, for any compactly supported target distribution, sufficiently many particles ensure that every local minimum has arbitrarily small MMD. Moreover, any stationary...

Text-Informed Training Data Filtering for Enhanced Virtual Flow Meter Performance

In sectors such as energy, aquaculture and chemical processing, the effectiveness of both mechanistic and data-driven models is frequently limited by poor-quality training data, which obscures underlying physical laws and degrades predictive accuracy. Such quality issues commonly manifest as anomalies in the dataset, r...
