Characterization of Gaussian Universality Breakdown in High-Dimensional Empirical Risk Minimization

Chiheb Yaakoubi, Cosme Louart, Malik Tiomoko +1

We study high-dimensional convex empirical risk minimization (ERM) under general non-Gaussian data designs. By heuristically extending the Convex Gaussian Min-Max Theorem (CGMT) to…

On the Collapse Errors Induced by the Deterministic Sampler for Diffusion Models

Yi Zhang, Zhenyu Liao, Jingfeng Wu +1

Despite the widespread adoption of deterministic samplers in diffusion models (DMs), their potential limitations remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we identify collapse erro…
