Langevin dynamics struggles with score function errors, study finds

A new research paper demonstrates that Langevin dynamics is not robust to small errors in score function estimation, unlike diffusion models. Even with arbitrarily small L2 errors, Langevin dynamics can produce distributions significantly different from the target distribution. This finding suggests that diffusion models may be more suitable than Langevin dynamics when learning score functions from data, highlighting a practical limitation of Langevin dynamics in machine learning applications.

    On the Robustness of Langevin Dynamics to Score Function Error

    arXiv:2603.11319v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the robustness of score-based generative modeling to errors in the estimate of the score function. In particular, we show that Langevin dynamics is not robust to the $L^2$ errors (more generally $L^p$ errors) i…
