SUMMARY:LC2 Seminar – Akash Sharma (Chalmers University of Technology)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Switching Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for sampling from mixt
 ure distributions\nAbstract: To effectively sample from mixture distributi
 ons\, we introduce a switching mechanism into Hamiltonian Monte Carlo dyna
 mics. By formulating the resulting dynamics as a hybrid jump stochastic d
 ifferential equation\, we propose splitting-based numerical schemes for di
 scretization. We analyze the discretization error and establish second-ord
 er convergence bounds with respect to the step size. Finally\, we validate
  the theoretical results through numerical experiments.
