arXiv:2607.03641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The manifold hypothesis posits that high-dimensional data are concentrated near a low-dimensional embedded manifold. Recent advances in mixture variational autoencoders (VAEs) provide a powerful tool for extracting such underlying structure in a faithful manner. The resulting geometric structure naturally introduces local and global relationships among variables, thereby providing a systematic way of imputing missing data. We propose a model-based imputation method that enables sampling from \( p(\bm{x}_{\mathrm{mis}} \mid \bm{x}_{\mathrm{obs}}
