| 2025 | Long-time asymptotics of noisy SVGD outside the population limitabstractStein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) is a widely used sampling algorithm that has been successfully applied in several areas of Machine Learning. SVGD operates by iteratively moving a set of $n$ interacting particles (which represent the samples) to approximate the target distribution. Despite recent studies on the complexity of SVGD and its variants, their long-time asymptotic behavior (i.e., after numerous iterations $k$) is still not understood in the finite number of particles regime. We study the long-time asymptotic behavior of a noisy variant of SVGD. First, we establish that the limit set of noisy SVGD for large $k$ is well-defined. We then characterize this limit set, showing that it approaches the target distribution as $n$ increases. In particular, noisy SVGD avoids the variance collapse observed for SVGD. Our approach involves demonstrating that the trajectories of noisy SVGD closely resemble those described by a McKean-Vlasov process. Victor Priser, Pascal Bianchi, Adil Salim |
