Parameterised graph theory for tensor networks: entanglement rerouting, structural simplification, and agnostic tomography

The paper applies parameterised graph theory to tensor networks, showing that cutwidth and tree‑cutwidth bound the bond‑dimension overhead needed to represent a tensor‑network state as a matrix product state or tree tensor network. It derives graph‑dependent upper bounds on the sample and computational complexity of tensor‑network tomography, introducing a new graph parameter called learning complexity. Finally, it extends the framework to an agnostic learner that approximates any state with a tensor‑network state of given bond dimension, providing explicit graph‑dependent complexity bounds.

In-Context Graphical Inference

arXiv:2606. 05042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Marginal inference in discrete graphical models forces a choice between exactness and scalability: exact algorithms are intractable for high-treewidth graphs, while iterative approximations (Belief Propagation, variational methods) sacrifice convergence guarantees on frustrated topologies.

Tensor Methods for Language Models: From Token Representation to Training, Adaptation, Inference, Compression, and Interpretability

This survey reviews tensor methods applied to large language models, framing them through a seven‑stage lifecycle (tokenization, embeddings, pre‑training, adaptation, compression, inference, interpretability) and a component view (embeddings, attention, feed‑forward networks). It offers unified notation, theoretical foundations, and comparative analyses of tensorization strategies for Transformer components, while highlighting evaluation protocol differences and model scale effects. The paper also introduces a new metric, ρ_gap, to quantify the gap between theoretical memory savings and actual system‑level speedup, and connects tensor techniques to related efficiency and probabilistic methods.

Joint Bayesian Inference of Graphical Structure and Parameters with a Single Generative Flow Network

The paper introduces JSP-GFN, a Generative Flow Network that jointly infers the structure and parameters of a Bayesian Network. It sequentially generates a directed acyclic graph edge by edge and then samples the corresponding conditional probability parameters once the full structure is known. Experiments on simulated and real data show that JSP‑GFN accurately approximates the joint posterior and outperforms existing methods.
