Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for variance reduction techniques in machine learning, specifically addressing the challenge of sampling from non-log-concave distributions. This work provides the first unified analysis of estimators like SGD with momentum, STORM, and PAGE for this problem, establishing improved convergence rates and proving weak convergence to the target distribution. The findings were empirically validated on imaging applications, demonstrating consistent improvements in sample quality under fixed gradient computation budgets. AI
