Replace independent categorical proposals or reversible Metropolis updates for discrete latent variables with a lifted sampler carrying persistent continuous edge momenta. Neighbor transitions are biased by the momentum and use a symmetric energy factor, so momentum reversal gives the required balance relation for the target Gibbs distribution while ordinary dynamics remain non-reversible. This should reduce random-walk behavior when sampling multimodal categorical latents or token sequences.
Replace the usual parameter-plus-momentum Langevin state with a three-level chain consisting of parameters, velocity, and acceleration, while injecting Gaussian noise only into the highest auxiliary state. At a saddle, the escaping direction has a positive rate given by a cubic characteristic equation; use this rate to choose damping or adapt the temperature so that basin escape is accelerated without making the dynamics unstable.
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.
Replace stepwise gradient evaluation in a Bouncy Particle sampler over neural-network parameters with deterministic windows. At the start of each window, compute one gradient and use smoothness to upper-bound the event intensity along the ballistic trajectory; candidate events are generated analytically from the integrated envelope and accepted using a gradient evaluation only at candidate locations. This gives an exact sampler under a certified global smoothness bound and a controllable…
Replace repeated rejection sampling from a neural proposal P with a Poisson race that selects one proposal candidate with exactly the target distribution Q. Candidate i receives a Poisson arrival time A_i and race score A_i divided by Q(X_i)/P(X_i); the smallest score wins. When Q is close to P in KL divergence, the selected index has low expected logarithmic rank, providing an adaptive compute budget instead of a fixed number of candidates.
