We study the problem of sampling from a probability distribution $\pi$ on $\rset^d$ which has a density \wrt\ the Lebesgue measure known up to a normalization factor $x \mapsto \rme^{-U(x)} / \int_{\rset^d} \rme^{-U(y)} \rmd y$. We analyze…
Langevin diffusion processes and their discretizations are often used for sampling from a target density. The most convenient framework for assessing the quality of such a sampling scheme corresponds to smooth and strongly log-concave…

Langevin sampling from distributions of the form $p(x) \propto \exp(-\Psi(x))$ faces two major challenges: (global) mode coverage and (local) mode exploration. The first challenge is particularly relevant for multi-modal distributions with…
