科学生成模型需将局部可计算决策转化为全局相关且符合物理规律的样本。本文提出采样决策框架,通过在不断增长的状态图上构建结构化对象,并利用精确路径空间控制律进行全局校正。对于给定的吉布斯目标分布,该控制律是序列先验的相对熵投影,可通过线性反向期望递归的杜布变换实现。该方法等价于最优KL控制器、单侧施罗丁格传输及自回归与GFlowNet型生成的理想价值或流函数。路径解析形式导出有限粒子算法,其转移核与终态分布随路径预算增加而收敛。针对二值图模型,证明了结构抵消定理:任意固定单点乘积先验在群体校正中消失,因此改进单点边缘分布不会改变精确生成动力学。相关信息为条件依赖且前缀相关。统计物理提供局域玻尔兹曼先验,随自旋揭示吸收相互作用;最优路径空间控制则提供未揭示子图的前瞻场。在可精确枚举的伊辛网格上,该物理引导提案使有效样本量相对于乘积提案提升约十倍至近千倍,并在测试预算下达到精确目标参考带。在更大10×10网格上,超越精确枚举范围,该层次结构依然存在:局域玻尔兹曼引导避免了乘积提案的严重权重坍缩,并在报告诊断中趋近长期马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛基线。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Scientific generative models must turn tractable local decisions into globally correlated samples that respect physical constraints. We introduce Sampling Decisions, a finite-horizon framework in which a structured object is assembled on a growing state graph and corrected globally by an exact path-space control law. For a prescribed Gibbs target, the corrected law is the unique relative-entropy projection of a sequential prior and is realized by a Doob h-transform with a linear backward desirability recursion. The same object admits equivalent interpretations as a KL-optimal controller, a one-sided Schrodinger transport, and an ideal value or flow function for autoregressive and GFlowNet-type generation. A route-resolved formulation yields a finite-particle algorithm, whose transition kernels and terminal law converge as the path budget grows. For binary graphical models, we prove a structural cancellation theorem: every fixed singleton-product prior disappears from the population correction, so improved one-point marginals do not alter the exact generative dynamics. The relevant information is conditional and prefix dependent. Statistical physics supplies this structure through a Local-Boltzmann prior that absorbs interactions as spins are revealed, while optimal path-space control supplies the missing look-ahead field from the unrevealed subgraph. On exactly enumerable Ising grids, this physics-informed proposal increases effective sample size by factors of about ten to nearly one thousand relative to product proposals and reaches the exact-target reference band at the tested budgets. On a larger 10*10 grid, beyond exact enumeration, the same hierarchy persists: Local-Boltzmann guidance avoids the severe weight collapse of product proposals and approaches a long-run MCMC baseline on the reported diagnostics.
