Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) takes a set of particles starting from an initial distribution and iteratively moves them along a velocity field derived from the Stein operator, ultimately making the particle distribution approach the target distribution; its update direction is the gradient of the kernelized Stein discrepancy (KSD), which is essentially a displacement field.

UnverifiedThe theoretical foundations of functional gradient descent come from Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS) and variational methods in function space.59% similarUnverifiedThe core idea of Extra SGD originates from the extragradient method proposed by Korpelevich in 1976.56% similarUnverifiedLindgren et al. proved that a Gaussian process with a Matérn covariance function can be represented as the solution of some stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE), and after discretizing it on a triangular mesh with the finite element method, its coefficients form a Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF).55% similarUnverifiedAnderson proved in 1982 that any forward diffusion process has a corresponding reverse SDE, whose drift term depends on the log-gradient of the data distribution (the score function).55% similarUnverifiedThe paper proves that the Markov kernel and the solution to its Poisson equation are correspondingly transformed under any bijection.54% similar
