arXiv:2605. 26908v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Exploiting the indistinguishability of objects in a probabilistic graphical model such as a factor graph is key to lifted probabilistic inference algorithms and allows for tractable probabilistic inference problems with respect to domain sizes.

arXiv:2606. 19366v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Information lattice learning (ILL) learns interpretable rules of a signal by alternately projecting the signal onto a partition lattice that encodes a hierarchy of abstractions and lifting selected rules back to the signal domain.

arXiv:2607. 01057v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a broad class of graphical models whose independencies correspond to vertex separation in mixed graphs with directed, undirected, and bidirected edges, that are capable of encoding independence structures arising from feedback, latent and selection mechanisms.

arXiv:2401. 04890v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization, which applies when the latent factors of interest depend sparsely on observed auxiliary variables and/or past latent factors.

arXiv:2608. 11724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analogies are quaternary relations of the form "A is to B as C is to D".

arXiv:2504. 12594v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conditional independence testing is a critical component of feature screening, invariant statistical models, and causal discovery.

arXiv:2606. 28024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lifted inference exploits indistinguishabilities in probabilistic graphical models by using a representative for indistinguishable objects, thereby speeding up query answering while maintaining exact answers.

arXiv:2607. 26357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The problem of learning the graphical Markov blanket (MB) of a variable from data has applications in many areas such as structure learning for Bayesian networks and Markov random fields, causal discovery, and feature selection.

arXiv:2606. 11831v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural relational inference (NRI) methods discover interaction graphs from trajectories through variational reasoning on discrete potential edges.
By Qi Shao, Hao Guo, Jiawen Chen, Duxin Chen, Wenwu Yu
Analogies are quaternary relations of the form "A is to B as C is to D". Among the various formalizations of analogical reasoning, proportional analogies provide an important axiomatic framework by characterizing valid analogies through a set of postulates.
arXiv:2607. 09449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian causal discovery is widely used for its ability to quantify epistemic uncertainty over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) through posterior inference.

arXiv:2607. 28706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the convergence properties of the random-sweep Gibbs sampler for Gaussian graphical models with a thin-membrane prior.
