In risk-sensitive applications, however, simulator reliability depends not only on typical samples but also on rare adverse scenarios. Reliable estimation of statistical functionals defined on low-probability regions is central to risk-sensitive inference. Because empirical tail observations are exceptionally scarce, practitioners increasingly rely on deep generative models to act as approximate simulators for downstream  \nrisk estimation [Gonen et al., 2025, Tanaka et al., 2025, Liet al., 2025] .1  \nHowever, standard generative objectives, such as score matching or maximum likelihood, prioritize the “bulk” of the probability mass where data is dense. The extreme tails are consequently starved of reliable gradient signals and become dominated by localized optimization noise. Drawing synthetic samples from a single “converged” checkpoint often yields severe tail miscalibration, either arbitrarily truncating the tail (mode collapse) or hallucinating unrealistic extremes. Existing approaches attempt to resolve this during training via adversarial tail constraints or extreme-value reweighting [Huang et al., 2024, Galib et al., 2024] . While improving targeted metrics, these modeling interventionscan alter the simulator’s effective target distribution or impose additional structural assumptions.  \nDSI addresses a different practical problem: finite-budget risk estimates without imposing any parametric tail form, distributional constraint, or additional training objective. In many risk-management settings, the immediate task is not to recover an asymptotic tail law, but to estimate risk measures such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) under a limited simulation budget constrained by compute, latency, or validation resources. We therefore propose Diachronic Sample Integration (DSI), a test-time framework that ensembles samples across stochastic training checkpoints (Figure 1) . Rather than treating a single converged model state as the sole simulator, DSI uses the training trajectory as a source of checkpoint-level variability and aggregates generated samples to reduce tail-estimation instability while leaving the underlying generator unchanged.  \nDSI is not guaranteed to remove ","cbCaiexYpJzLgpWJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiexYpJzLgpWJ","pdf",1045855,4,1,27,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Related Work\n## Generative Simulators and Tail-Sensitive Objectives","[{\"question\":\"What problem does Diachronic Sample Integration (DSI) address?\",\"answer\":\"DSI addresses unstable tail-risk estimation when deep generative models are used as simulators under limited simulation budgets.
