This is the official repository for the paper Stochastic Localization via Iterative Posterior Sampling. We consider a general stochastic localization framework and introduce an explicit class of observation processes, associated with flexible denoising schedules. We provide a complete methodology, Stochastic Localization via Iterative Posterior Sampling (SLIPS), to obtain approximate samples of this dynamics, and as a by-product, samples from the unnormalized target distribution. Our scheme is based on a Markov chain Monte Carlo estimation of the denoiser and comes with detailed practical guidelines. We illustrate the benefits and applicability of SLIPS on several benchmarks, including Gaussian mixtures in increasing dimensions, Bayesian logistic regression and a high-dimensional field system from statistical-mechanics. We experiment multiple tasks :
- Toy target distributions (8 Gaussians and Rings) (2 dimensions)
- Funnel (10 dimensions)
- Mixture of two Gaussians (from 8 up to 128 dimensions)
- Bayesian Logisitic Regressions (with 34 and 61 dimensions)
- Phi four field system (with 100 dimensions)
This code also contains implementation of the following papers :
- Reverse Diffusion Monte Carlo (see
slips.samplers.rdmc) - Chain of Log-Concave Markov Chains (see
slips.samplers.mnm) - Annealed Importance Sampling (see
slips.samplers.smc) - Sequential Monte Carlo (see
slips.samplers.smc)
