    Complexity Analysis of Normalizing Constant Estimation: from Jarzynski Equality to Annealed Importance Sampling and beyond

    Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for analyzing the complexity of estimating normalizing constants in probability distributions. This work focuses on annealed importance sampling methods, providing a non-asymptotic analysis with an oracle complexity of \(\\widetilde{O}(\frac{d\beta^2{\mathcal{A}}^2}{\varepsilon^4})\) for achieving a specified relative error. The analysis leverages Girsanov's theorem and optimal transport, avoiding explicit isoperimetric assumptions. Additionally, a novel algorithm using reverse diffusion samplers is proposed to handle large actions and multimodality, with empirical validation. AI

    Training Neural Networks with Optimal Double-Bayesian Learning

    Researchers have introduced a novel probabilistic framework to optimize the learning rate in neural network training, moving beyond empirical trial-and-error. This new approach develops classic Bayesian statistics into a dual-Bayesian decision mechanism. The framework theoretically derives an optimal learning rate, which has been validated through experiments on various classification, segmentation, and detection tasks. AI
