Dynamic Latent Routing

We investigate the temporal concatenation of sub-policies in Markov Decision Processes (MDP) with time-varying reward functions. We introduce General Dijkstra Search (GDS), and prove that globally optimal goal-reaching policies can be recovered through temporal composition of intermediate optimal sub-policies. Motivated by the "search, select, update" principle underlying GDS, we propose Dynamic Latent Routing (DLR), a language-model post-training method that jointly learns discrete latent codes, routing policies, and model parameters through dynamic search in a single training stage. In low-data fine-tuning settings, DLR matches or outperforms supervised fine-tuning across four datasets and six models, achieving a mean gain of +6.6 percentage points, while prior discrete-latent baselines consistently underperform SFT. Mechanistic analyses and targeted code ablations show that DLR learns structured routing behaviors with distinct causal roles.

Multilevel Particle Filters for the Non-Linear Filtering Problem in Continuous Time

In the following article we consider the numerical approximation of the non-linear filter in continuous-time, where the observations and signal follow diffusion processes. Given access to high-frequency, but discrete-time observations, we resort to a first order time discretization of the non-linear filter, followed by an Euler discretization of the signal dynamics. In order to approximate the associated discretized non-linear filter, one can use a particle filter (PF). Under assumptions, this can achieve a mean square error of $\mathcal{O}(ε^2)$, for $ε>0$ arbitrary, such that the associated cost is $\mathcal{O}(ε^{-4})$. We prove, under assumptions, that the multilevel particle filter (MLPF) of Jasra et al (2017) can achieve a mean square error of $\mathcal{O}(ε^2)$, for cost $\mathcal{O}(ε^{-3})$. This is supported by numerical simulations in several examples.

Unbiased Filtering of a Class of Partially Observed Diffusions

In this article we consider a Monte Carlo-based method to filter partially observed diffusions observed at regular and discrete times. Given access only to Euler discretizations of the diffusion process, we present a new procedure which can return online estimates of the filtering distribution with no discretization bias and finite variance. Our approach is based upon a novel double application of the randomization methods of Rhee & Glynn (2015) along with the multilevel particle filter (MLPF) approach of Jasra et al (2017). A numerical comparison of our new approach with the MLPF, on a single processor, shows that similar errors are possible for a mild increase in computational cost. However, the new method scales strongly to arbitrarily many processors.

Central Limit Theorems for Coupled Particle Filters

In this article we prove a new central limit theorem (CLT) for coupled particle filters (CPFs). CPFs are used for the sequential estimation of the difference of expectations w.r.t. filters which are in some sense close. Examples include the estimation of the filtering distribution associated to different parameters (finite difference estimation) and filters associated to partially observed discretized diffusion processes (PODDP) and the implementation of the multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) identity. We develop new theory for CPFs and based upon several results, we propose a new CPF which approximates the maximal coupling (MCPF) of a pair of predictor distributions. In the context of ML estimation associated to PODDP with discretization $Δ_l$ we show that the MCPF and the approach in Jasra et al. (2018) have, under assumptions, an asymptotic variance that is upper-bounded by an expression that is (almost) $\mathcal{O}(Δ_l)$, uniformly in time. The $\mathcal{O}(Δ_l)$ rate preserves the so-called forward rate of the diffusion in some scenarios which is not the case for the CPF in Jasra et al (2017).
