Researchers have developed new methods for approximating integrals against probability distributions using interacting particle systems. These systems minimize the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) to the target distribution, extending classical mean shift algorithms to continuous distributions. The approach is invariant to the unknown normalizing constant and can be implemented with or without gradients, demonstrating rapid convergence, multi-modality capture, and scalability to high dimensions.
