Abstract:We study Slowly Annealed Langevin Dynamics (SALD), a sampler for tracking a path of moving target distributions and approximating the terminal target through time slowdown. We establish non-asymptotic convergence guarantees via a KL differential inequality, showing that slowdown improves tracking through contraction of intermediate targets and the complexity of the path. Motivated by training-free guided generation with pretrained score-based generative models, we further introduce Velocity-Aware SALD (VA-SALD), which explicitly incorporates the underlying marginal distributions of the pretrained model and uses slowdown to correct the additional deviation induced by guidance. This yields a principled framework for training-free guided generation for diffusion-based and related generative model families, together with convergence guarantees that clarify the roles of intermediate functional inequalities and guidance bias.
