Universality of Gaussian-Mixture Reverse Kernels in Conditional Diffusion
Ishtiaque, Nafiz, Haque, Syed Arefinul, Alam, Kazi Ashraful, Jahara, Fatima
We prove that conditional diffusion models whose reverse kernels are finite Gaussian mixtures with ReLU-network logits can approximate suitably regular target distributions arbitrarily well in context-averaged conditional KL divergence, up to an irreducible terminal mismatch that typically vanishes with increasing diffusion horizon. A path-space decomposition reduces the output error to this mismatch plus per-step reverse-kernel errors; assuming each reverse kernel factors through a finite-dimensional feature map, each step becomes a static conditional density approximation problem, solved by composing Norets' Gaussian-mixture theory with quantitative ReLU bounds. Under exact terminal matching the resulting neural reverse-kernel class is dense in conditional KL.
Safe Distributionally Robust Feature Selection under Covariate Shift
Hanada, Hiroyuki, Akahane, Satoshi, Hashimoto, Noriaki, Takeno, Shion, Takeuchi, Ichiro
In practical machine learning, the environments encountered during the model development and deployment phases often differ, especially when a model is used by many users in diverse settings. Learning models that maintain reliable performance across plausible deployment environments is known as distributionally robust (DR) learning. In this work, we study the problem of distributionally robust feature selection (DRFS), with a particular focus on sparse sensing applications motivated by industrial needs. In practical multi-sensor systems, a shared subset of sensors is typically selected prior to deployment based on performance evaluations using many available sensors. At deployment, individual users may further adapt or fine-tune models to their specific environments. When deployment environments differ from those anticipated during development, this strategy can result in systems lacking sensors required for optimal performance. To address this issue, we propose safe-DRFS, a novel approach that extends safe screening from conventional sparse modeling settings to a DR setting under covariate shift. Our method identifies a feature subset that encompasses all subsets that may become optimal across a specified range of input distribution shifts, with finite-sample theoretical guarantees of no false feature elimination.

Bandit Quickest Changepoint Detection
Surveillance systems [HC11] are equipped with a suite of sensors that can be switched and steered to focus attention on any target or location over a physical landscape (see Figure 1) to detect abrupt changes at any location. On the other hand, sensor suites are resource limited, and only a limited subset, among all the locations, can be probed at any time.
