An invitation to sequential Monte Carlo samplers
read the original abstract
Statisticians often use Monte Carlo methods to approximate probability distributions, primarily with Markov chain Monte Carlo and importance sampling. Sequential Monte Carlo samplers are a class of algorithms that combine both techniques to approximate distributions of interest and their normalizing constants. These samplers originate from particle filtering for state space models and have become general and scalable sampling techniques. This article describes sequential Monte Carlo samplers and their possible implementations, arguing that they remain under-used in statistics, despite their ability to perform sequential inference and to leverage parallel processing resources among other potential benefits.

Scaling flow-based approaches for topology sampling in $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gauge theory
Out-of-equilibrium simulations with open-to-periodic boundary switching plus a tailored stochastic normalizing flow enable efficient topology sampling in the continuum limit of four-dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory.

Dynamic Inference in Term Structure Models with Unspanned Latent Risks
Arbitrage-free DTSMs with unspanned latent risks, estimated via SMC, show that these factors improve out-of-sample bond return forecasts and deliver economic utility gains over yield-curve benchmarks.
