arXiv:2502.04646v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Weighted sampling -- sampling from a probability density function (PDF) proportional to the product of a base PDF and a weight function -- is a fundamental technique with wide-ranging applications in variance reduction, biased sampling, data augmentation, and more. Leveraging the increasing availability of pretrained score-based generative models (SGMs), we propose a training-free weighted sampling framework that approximates the backward diffusion process of the target distribution by augmenting the pretrained base score function with an aux
