PICKLES: Covariance-Preconditioned Kinetic Langevin Ensemble Sampler

We propose a covariance-preconditioned kinetic Langevin ensemble sampler named PICKLES. This is a kinetic analogue of the affine invariant interacting Langevin dynamics (ALDI). PICKLES uses a rectangular covariance square root as a preconditioner to avoid computing matrix inverses or square roots, leading to position a...

Geometric Ergodicity of Affine Invariant Ensemble Langevin and its Discrete Time Variants

Affine-invariant ensemble samplers are widely used in Bayesian applications. However, their quantitative convergence theory, in particular geometric ergodicity, remains a basic open question. We study the affine invariant ensemble Langevin dynamics, an interacting particle system that uses the empirical covariance of t...
