MCMC for multi-modal distributions
read the original abstract
We explain the fundamental challenges of sampling from multimodal distributions, particularly for high-dimensional problems. We present the major types of MCMC algorithms that are designed for this purpose, including parallel tempering, mode jumping and Wang-Landau, as well as several state-of-the-art approaches that have recently been proposed. We demonstrate these methods using both synthetic and real-world examples of multimodal distributions with discrete or continuous state spaces.

Diffusion models recover accurate mixture weights despite score function insensitivity
Mixture-weight recovery errors in diffusion models are controlled by the curvature of the diffusion score-matching loss (the DSSI), not by the target score's sensitivity.
