abstract
We propose a new method called the N-particle underdamped Langevin algorithm for optimizing a special class of non-linear functionals defined over the space of probability measures. Examples of problems with this formulation include training mean-field neural networks, maximum mean discrepancy minimization and kernel Stein discrepancy minimization. Our algorithm is based on a novel spacetime discretization of the mean-field underdamped Langevin dynamics, for which we provide a new, fast mixing guarantee. In addition, we demonstrate that our algorithm converges globally in total variation distance, bridging the theoretical gap between the dynamics and its practical implementation.

Exponential Ergodicity in Relative Entropy and $L^2$-Wasserstein Distance for non-equilibrium partially dissipative Kinetic SDEs
Non-equilibrium kinetic SDEs under partial dissipation are shown to satisfy exponential ergodicity in relative entropy and L2-Wasserstein distance, with extensions to McKean-Vlasov and mean-field particle systems.
