Researchers have developed new methods to address bias and improve efficiency in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithms. One study extends the concept of bias delocalization to unadjusted HMC and underdamped Langevin methods, showing that a limited number of integration steps can control bias in high-dimensional distributions. Another paper introduces Randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RHMC), which demonstrates accelerated mixing time guarantees for sampling from log-concave distributions by using random integration times. A third approach, Tamed Stochastic Gradient Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (tSGHMC), is proposed for optimization problems with superlinearly growing gradients, offering theoretical guarantees and outperforming its first-order counterpart in practical applications.
