Denoising diffusion probabilistic models and score-matching models have proven to be very powerful for generative tasks. While these approaches have also been applied to the generation of discrete graphs, they have, so far, relied on…

We study the dynamical properties of the Brownian diffusions having $\sigma {\rm Id}$ as diffusion coefficient matrix and $b=\nabla U$ as drift vector. We characterize this class through the equality $D^2_+=D^2_-$, where $D_{+}$ (resp.…

We develop exact Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for discretely-sampled, directly and indirectly observed diffusions. The qualification "exact" refers to the fact that the invariant and limiting distribution of the Markov chains is the…
