• Abstract summary: Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance is a key tool for manifold learning and cross-domain learning. We propose a novel approach for comparing two computation distributions, that hinges on the idea of distributional slicing, embeddings, and on computing the closed-form Wasserstein distance between the sliced distributions.

• Abstract: Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance is a key tool for manifold learning and cross-domain learning, allowing the comparison of distributions that do not live in the same metric space. Because of its high computational complexity, several approximate GW distances have been proposed based on entropy regularization or on slicing, and one-dimensional GW computation. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for comparing two incomparable distributions, that hinges on the idea of distributional slicing, embeddings, and on computing the closed-form Wasserstein distance between the sliced distributions. We provide a theoretical analysis of this new divergence, called distributional sliced embedding (DSE) discrepancy, and we show that it preserves several interesting properties of GW distance including rotation-invariance. We show that the embeddings involved in DSE can be efficiently learned. Finally, we provide a large set of experiments illustrating the behavior of DSE as a divergence in the context of generative modeling and in query framework.

  We study the theoretical aspects of score-based discrete diffusion models under the Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) framework. We introduce a discrete-time sampling algorithm in the general state space $[S]d$ that utilizes score estimators at predefined time points. Our convergence analysis employs a Girsanov-based method and establishes key properties of the discrete score function.

  In variational inference, the benefits of Bayesian models rely on accurately capturing the true posterior distribution. We propose using neural samplers that specify implicit distributions, which are well-suited for approximating complex multimodal and correlated posteriors. Our approach introduces novel bounds for approximate inference using implicit distributions by locally linearising the neural sampler.
