Discovery of Diverse and Realistic Financial Tail-Risk Using Generative Flow Networks
Accurate modeling of rare, high-impact financial events is essential for robust risk management. Sampling-based techniques such as Sequential Markov Chain Monte Carlo (SMCMC) generate diverse scenarios but inefficiently explore high-risk regions, while Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) converges on narrow sets of scenarios, limiting diversity. We present GRID, which uses Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) -- samplers that draw objects in proportion to a reward -- to systematically generate div

Right Numbers, Wrong Questions: Evaluating LLMs on Underspecified Financial Queries
Financial assistants answer questions that sound factual but depend on what the user leaves unsaid: what a data figure measures, which product variant is meant, and the investor's situation and the rules that apply. An assistant that ignores these can still answer with a real number from its data, one that answers a different question. We call this frame collapse. We study it in Indian mutual funds, where product variants and tax rules are formally defined, so the correct answer can be computed

Diagnosing parameter unidentifiability in stochastic dynamics with an application to flocking models
Although flocking behaviour has been studied extensively in active matter physics and mathematical biology, methods for assessing parameter estimability remain underdeveloped. For models formulated as stochastic differential equations (SDEs), we develop a Hessian-based diagnostic framework that detects unidentifiable directions and indicates whether, and how, estimation precision can be improved. The framework utilizes the submartingale structure of the loss function's Hessian and tracks its min

Debiasing Functionals of Conditional Distributions
Many economic parameters depend on estimated conditional distributions. We construct locally robust moments for these parameters by representing their first-step derivative and centering the representer conditionally on the covariates. We develop complementary conditional-measure and CDF linearizations, and derive corrections for control functions, counterfactual functionals, conditional rank-rank regression, and transformations of conditional $L$-functionals. Under the CDF linearization, a Ries
