SUMMARY:Gradient flows for sampling and their deterministic interacting particle approximations
LOCATION:Hill 705
DESCRIPTION:<p>Motivated by the task of sampling measures in high dimensions we will di
 scuss a several gradient flows in the spaces of measures, including the Was
 serstein gradient flows of Maximum Mean Discrepancy and relative entropy, t
 he Stein Variational Gradient Descent and a new Radon-Wasserstein gradient 
 flows. &nbsp; For all the flows we will consider their deterministic intera
 cting-particle approximations. The talk will highlight some of the properti
 es of the flows and indicate their differences. In particular we will discu
 ss how well can the interacting particles approximate the target measures. 
 The talk is based on joint works with Elias Hess-Childs, Anna Korba, Sangmi
 n Park, &nbsp;Lihan Wang, and Lantian Xu.</p>
