Underdamped Langevin MCMC: A non-asymptotic analysis

TL;DR: The underdamped Langevin MCMC scheme can be viewed as a version of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) which has been observed to outperform over-approximation in a number of application areas as discussed by the authors.

Sharp Convergence Rates for Langevin Dynamics in the Nonconvex Setting.

TL;DR: Both overdamped and underdamped Langevin MCMC are studied and upper bounds on the number of steps required to obtain a sample from a distribution that is within $\epsilon$ of $p*$ in $1$-Wasserstein distance are established.

Underdamped Langevin MCMC: A non-asymptotic analysis

TL;DR: A MCMC algorithm based on its discretization is presented and it is shown that it achieves $\varepsilon$ error (in 2-Wasserstein distance) in $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{d}/\varePSilon)$ steps, a significant improvement over the best known rate for overdamped Langevin MCMC.

TL;DR: The authors provides a thorough account of the opportunities and risks of foundation models, ranging from their capabilities (e.g., language, vision, robotics, reasoning, human interaction) and technical principles(e. g.g. model architectures, training procedures, data, systems, security, evaluation, theory) to their applications.
