Minima and Critical Points of the Bethe Free Energy Are Invariant Under Deformation Retractions of Factor Graphs
Minima and Critical Points of the Bethe Free Energy Are Invariant Under Deformation Retractions of Factor Graphs arXiv:2510.05380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In graphical models, factor graphs, and more generally energy-based models, the interactions between variables are encoded by a graph, a hypergraph, or, in the most general case, a partially ordered set (poset). Inference…

Weighted Support Points from Random Measures: An Interpretable Alternative for Generative Modeling
Weighted Support Points from Random Measures: An Interpretable Alternative for Generative Modeling arXiv:2508.21255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Support points summarize a large dataset through a smaller set of representative points that can be used for data operations, such as Monte Carlo integration, without requiring access to the full dataset. In this sense, support points offer…
