Comparison Theorems for the Mixing Times of Systematic and Random Scan Dynamics
Conference Proceedings of the Annual ACM SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms · January 1, 2026 A popular method for sampling from high-dimensional distributions is the Gibbs sampler, which iteratively resamples sites from the conditional distribution of the desired measure given the values of the other coordinates. It is natural to ask to what exten ... Full text CiteLearning Ising Models from Evolutions
Conference Proceedings of Machine Learning Research · January 1, 2026 In this work, we revisit the problem of learning the structure and parameters of an Ising model from dynamics. While the problem of learning from i.i.d. samples has been intensively studied in several communities (Chow and Liu, 1968; Ravikumar et al., 2010 ... CiteBypassing the Noisy Parity Barrier: Learning Higher-Order Markov Random Fields from Dynamics
Conference Proceedings of the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing · June 15, 2025 We consider the problem of learning graphical models, also known as Markov random fields (MRFs) from temporally correlated samples. As in many traditional statistical settings, fundamental results in the area all assume independent samples from the distrib ... Full text CiteEducation
