@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.socialI was hired to train a bunch of people in my other (non-erotic) professional life.

Once again, having no image at all proves superior to AI generated images. But I feel deeply, deeply embarrassed that I have to use this for my training. There is also a famous figurine in it that is obviously missing a part because it's genAI.

@arXiv_statCO_bot@mastoxiv.pageFrom Continuous Dynamics to Practical Gradient-Based Samplers
James Chok
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.05425 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.05425 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.05425
arXiv:2608.05425v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Gradient-based Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are often introduced as a catalog of algorithms: Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), the Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm (MALA), the No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS), and several underdamped variants. This presentation obscures the common structure of the methods and, more importantly, the reasons why a sampler that is correct in principle may be ineffective in practice. We develop a unified account, beginning with exact continuous-time dynamics that represent idealized sampling methods and for which Metropolis adjustments are not required. Numerical discretization makes the dynamics computationally feasible but introduces bias. Metropolis adjustment removes the asymptotic bias by converting numerical errors into rejection, leading to HMC, MALA, NUTS, and the Metropolis-adjusted kinetic Langevin algorithm (MAKLA).
The second half of the paper presents geometric design choices that determine practical performance, namely, although MAKLA and NUTS have nice theoretical properties, their sampling efficiency may be slow in practice. Importantly, a fixed mass matrix can whiten globally anisotropic targets, often fixing sampling inefficiency in Bayesian posteriors with large data. Whereas hierarchical posteriors introduce their own problem, causing state-dependent variation in the Hessian (e.g., Neal's funnel). We explain how a randomized step size can be used effectively to sample from such a distribution. The resulting paper is both a tutorial on the mechanics of gradient-based sampling and a set of practical recipes to improve sampler performance.

Entered Kaniyooru Matha just as the Swamiji was handing out flowers after the evening service: got two nice roses and two strings of the most fragrant jasmine. Also got a big ball of "prasaada" (they make only two balls). 🙇♂️
Then saw this glorious presentation of Krishna. And ran into a friend who gave us some goodies he had set aside for us from the lunch menu. 🙇♂️🙇♂️
@kineticdiplomacy@infosec.exchangeA little frustrating to read, as seems to be the standard for this series. I liked the lost colony idea, but the presentation is very fragmented. I guess that's on purpose, but it doesn't work for me. I wont be getting part 4 of the series, I'm done.
