Rapid convergence of Langevin AIS for multimodal distributions on
Seungjae Son
We study annealed importance sampling (AIS) driven by the overdamped Langevin diffusion, targeting a multimodal Gibbs measure on $\mathbb…

Convergence of Langevin AIS for multimodal distributions
Akshat Agarwal, Gautam Iyer, Aidan Jameson +2
We study convergence rates of the annealed importance sampling algorithm (Neal '01) combined with Langevin Monte Carlo when the target is a multimodal Gibbs measure. The main resul…

Rapid convergence of tempering chains to multimodal Gibbs measures
Seungjae Son
We study the spectral gaps of parallel and simulated tempering chains targeting multimodal Gibbs measures. In particular, we consider chains constructed from Metropolis random walk…
