Non-asymptotic central limit theorem (CLT) rates play a central role in modern machine learning and operations research. In this paper, we study CLT rates for multivariate dependent data in Wasserstein-$p$ ($W_p$) distance, for general…

Several issues in machine learning and inverse problems require to generate discrete data, as if sampled from a model probability distribution. A common way to do so relies on the construction of a uniform probability distribution over a…

We provide finite-particle convergence rates for the Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) algorithm in the Kernelized Stein Discrepancy ($\mathsf{KSD}$) and Wasserstein-2 metrics. Our key insight is that the time derivative of the…

Under certain general conditions, we prove that the stable central limit theorem holds in the total variation distance and get its optimal convergence rate for all $\alpha \in (0,2)$. Our method is by two measure decompositions, one step…

In this article, we fill a gap in the literature on Hawkes processes. In particular, we derive a CLT for a non linear compound marked Hawkes process. We also provide an upper bound on the convergence rate using the functional 1-Wasserstein…

In 2010, Shiffman and Zelditch proved a central limit theorem (CLT) for smooth statistics of Gaussian random zeros in codimension one over compact K\"ahler manifolds. They raised the question of whether this result admits a two-fold…

We study the long time statistics of a class of semi--linear damped wave equations with polynomial nonlinearities and perturbed by additive Gaussian noise in dimensions 2 and 3. We find that if sufficiently many directions in the phase…

We consider the Cauchy problem on nonlinear scalar conservation laws with a diffusion-type source term related to an index $s\in \R$ over the whole space $\R^n$ for any spatial dimension $n\geq 1$. Here, the diffusion-type source term…

We establish inequalities for assessing the distance between the distribution of a (possibly multidimensional) functional of a Poisson random measure and that of a Gaussian element. Our bounds only involve add-one cost operators at the…

In this article we establish new central limit theorems for Ruppert-Polyak averaged stochastic gradient descent schemes. Compared to previous work we do not assume that convergence occurs to an isolated attractor but instead allow…

We investigate the non-relativistic limit of the Cauchy problem for the defocusing cubic nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations whose initial velocity contains a factor of $c^2$, with $c$ being the light speed. While the classical WKB expansion…
