• Abstract summary: We develop large-sample theory for NSS-JD, a popular method of non-stationary source separation. We show that the consistency of the unmixing estimator and its convergence to a limiting Gaussian distribution at the standard square root rate are shown to hold. Simulation experiments are used to verify the theoretical results and to study the impact of block length on the separation.

• Abstract: Non-stationary source separation is a well-established branch of blind source separation with many different methods. However, for none of these methods large-sample results are available. To bridge this gap, we develop large-sample theory for NSS-JD, a popular method of non-stationary source separation based on the joint diagonalization of block-wise covariance matrices. We work under an instantaneous linear mixing model for independent Gaussian non-stationary source signals together with a very general set of assumptions: besides boundedness conditions, the only assumptions we make are that the sources exhibit finite dependency and that their variance functions differ sufficiently to be asymptotically separable. The consistency of the unmixing estimator and its convergence to a limiting Gaussian distribution at the standard square root rate are shown to hold under the previous conditions. Simulation experiments are used to verify the theoretical results and to study the impact of block length on the separation.

  We present the first performance guarantee with explicit dimensional general score-mismatched diffusion samplers. We show that score mismatches result in an distributional bias between the target and sampling distributions, proportional to the accumulated mismatch between the target and training distributions. This result can be directly applied to zero-shot conditional samplers for any conditional model, irrespective of measurement noise.

  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.

• Sourcerer: Sample-based Maximum Entropy Source Distribution Estimation [5.673617376471343]
  We propose an approach which targets the maximum entropy distribution, i.e., prioritizes retaining as much uncertainty as possible. Our method is purely sample-based - leveraging the Sliced-Wasserstein distance to measure the discrepancy between the dataset and simulations. To demonstrate the utility of our approach, we infer source distributions for parameters of the Hodgkin-Huxley model from experimental datasets with thousands of single-neuron measurements.

  In this paper, we propose a distributed sampling scheme based on the alternating direction method of multipliers. We provide both theoretical guarantees of our algorithm's convergence and experimental evidence of its superiority to the state-of-the-art. In simulation, we deploy our algorithm on linear and logistic regression tasks and illustrate its fast convergence compared to existing gradient-based methods.

  We show that the Wasserstein GAN, constrained to left-invertible push-forward maps, generates distributions that avoid replication and significantly deviate from the empirical distribution. Our most important contribution provides a finite-sample lower bound on the Wasserstein-1 distance between the generative distribution and the empirical one. We also establish a finite-sample upper bound on the distance between the generative distribution and the true data-generating one.
