Use the exact Kac–Ward conditional sampler as an oracle teacher for a neural autoregressive distribution over planar Ising configurations. At each prefix, supervise the network with the exact next-spin probability rather than only a sampled next spin, then retain the oracle as an evaluation and active-correction mechanism for prefixes where the student is inaccurate. This converts an approximate variational sampler into a calibrated amortized approximation with an exact, independently sampled…
Generate augmentation parameters from a binary digital net with matrix or linear scrambling instead of independently sampled uniforms or fully Owen-scrambled points. The construction should cover the augmentation hypercube while avoiding the severe local clustering predicted for random and locally independent scrambling, giving each training window a more uniform set of transformation strengths.
Replace slow primal-coordinate Gibbs sampling of a graph-structured Gaussian latent feature field with Gibbs sampling in the Fourier-dual factor graph. Use the primal convergence formula to determine when dual sampling is worthwhile, and map dual samples back to neural features through the graph incidence operator.
