Fuqun Han - Regularized Wasserstein Proximal Algorithms for Nonsmooth Sampling Problems

Recorded 17 July 2025. Fuqun Han of the University of California, Los Angeles, presents "Regularized Wasserstein Proximal Algorithms for Nonsmooth Sampling Problems" at IPAM's Sampling, Inference, and Data-Driven Physical Modeling in Scientific Machine Learning Workshop.
Abstract: In this talk, we introduce regularized Wasserstein proximal algorithms for nonsmooth sampling problems. We propose a splitting-based sampling algorithm for the time-implicit discretization of the probability flow ODE. In this approach, the score function, defined as the gradient of the logarithm of the current probability density, is approximated using the regularized Wasserstein proximal. We establish convergence towards the target distribution in terms of Renyi divergences under suitable conditions. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through numerical experiments on high-dimensional nonsmooth sampling problems.

TubeReader video aggregator is a website that collects and organizes online videos from the YouTube source. Video aggregation is done for different purposes, and TubeReader take different approaches to achieve their purpose.

Our try to collect videos of high quality or interest for visitors to view; the collection may be made by editors or may be based on community votes.

Another method is to base the collection on those videos most viewed, either at the aggregator site or at various popular video hosting sites.

TubeReader site exists to allow users to collect their own sets of videos, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others; TubeReader can develop online communities around video sharing.

Our site allow users to create a personalized video playlist, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others.
