Markov Chain Monte Carlo with Diffusion Paths
Han Chen, Sifan Liu, Jun Yang
The paper proposes a new MCMC method that interpolates between a target distribution and a Gaussian using diffusion paths, preserving mode weights and improving mixing, and introdu…

Rotated Mean-Field Variational Inference and Iterative Gaussianization
Yifan Chen, Sifan Liu
We propose an iterative Gaussianization method for sampling from unnormalized densities by repeatedly applying mean-field variational inference (MFVI) in rotated coordinate systems…

Sub-Cauchy Sampling: Escaping the Dark Side of the Moon
Sebastiano Grazzi, Sifan Liu, Gareth O. Roberts +1
We introduce a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm based on Sub-Cauchy Projection, a geometric transformation that generalizes stereographic projection by mapping Euclidean space in…
