A new paper introduces a non-asymptotic error analysis for Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods when using biased mutation kernels, which are common in post-hoc conditioning of generative models. The research decomposes the total error into kernel bias and finite-particle Monte Carlo error, providing a principled way to control bias by extending conditions for Markov kernels to conditional distributions. This framework is applied to score-based diffusion models, yielding the first non-asymptotic error bound that accounts for initialization, time discretization, score approximation, and particle count.
