  • An operator splitting analysis of Wasserstein–Fisher–Rao gradient flows

    An operator splitting analysis of Wasserstein–Fisher–Rao gradient flows arXiv:2511.18060v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Wasserstein-Fisher-Rao (WFR) gradient flows have been recently proposed as a powerful sampling tool that combines the advantages of pure Wasserstein (W) and pure Fisher-Rao (FR) gradient flows. Existing algorithmic developments implicitly make use of operator splitting techniques to numerically approximate the WFR…

  • Operator Models for Continuous-Time Offline Reinforcement Learning

    Operator Models for Continuous-Time Offline Reinforcement Learning arXiv:2511.10383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous-time stochastic processes underlie many natural and engineered systems. In healthcare, autonomous driving, and industrial control, direct interaction with the environment is often unsafe or impractical, motivating offline reinforcement learning from historical data. However, there is limited statistical understanding of the approximation errors…

  • Kernel-based Stochastic Approximation Framework for Nonlinear Operator Learning

    Kernel-based Stochastic Approximation Framework for Nonlinear Operator Learning arXiv:2509.11070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop a stochastic approximation framework for learning nonlinear operators between infinite-dimensional spaces utilizing general Mercer operator-valued kernels. Our framework encompasses two key classes: (i) compact kernels, which admit discrete spectral decompositions, and (ii) diagonal kernels of the form $K(x,x’)=k(x,x’)T$, where $k$…

    Thompson Sampling in Function Spaces via Neural Operators arXiv:2506.21894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose an extension of Thompson sampling to optimization problems over function spaces where the objective is a known functional of an unknown operator’s output. We assume that functional evaluations are inexpensive, while queries to the operator (such as running a high-fidelity…
