Computational Explorations of Total Variation Distance
Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3
We investigate some previously unexplored (or underexplored) computational aspects of total variation (TV) distance. First, we give a simple deterministic polynomial-time algorithm…

Total Variation Distance Meets Probabilistic Inference
Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3
In this paper, we establish a novel connection between total variation (TV) distance estimation and probabilistic inference. In particular, we present an efficient, structure-prese…
