Score-Repellent Monte Carlo: Toward Efficient Non-Markovian Sampler with Constant Memory in General State Spaces

arXiv:2604.22948v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: History-dependent sampling can reduce long-run Monte Carlo variance by discouraging redundant revisits, but existing schemes typically encode history through empirical measure on finite state spaces, which is infeasible in high-dimensional discrete configuration spaces or ill-posed in continuous domains. We propose Score-Repellent Monte Carlo (SRMC) framework that summarizes trajectory history by a running average of score evaluations in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d$ is the dimension of the score and state representation. This history is converte
The continuous drive for more efficient and robust sampling methods in complex AI models, especially those involving high-dimensional spaces, is a persistent and evolving research frontier.
Improved Monte Carlo methods can significantly enhance the training and inference capabilities of AI systems, leading to more accurate models and enabling applications previously hindered by computational limitations.
This research introduces a novel way to handle history-dependent sampling, potentially reducing variance and making previously intractable problems in high-dimensional spaces more feasible, which could impact various AI applications.
