Algorithms and Hardness for Estimating Statistical Similarity

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3

We introduce and study the computational problem of determining statistical similarity between probability distributions. For distributions and over a finite sample space,…

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…

Efficient Sample-optimal Learning of Gaussian Tree Models via Sample-optimal Testing of Gaussian Mutual Information

Sutanu Gayen, Sanket Kale, Sayantan Sen

Learning high-dimensional distributions is a significant challenge in machine learning and statistics. Classical research has mostly concentrated on asymptotic analysis of such dat…

Learnability of Parameter-Bounded Bayes Nets

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Davin Choo, Sutanu Gayen +1

Bayes nets are extensively used in practice to efficiently represent joint probability distributions over a set of random variables and capture dependency relations. In a seminal p…

Total Variation Distance for Product Distributions is -Complete

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Kuldeep S. Meel +3

We show that computing the total variation distance between two product distributions is -complete. This is in stark contrast with other distance measures such as Kul…

Distribution Learning Meets Graph Structure Sampling

Arnab Bhattacharyya, Sutanu Gayen, Philips George John +2

This work establishes a novel link between the problem of PAC-learning high-dimensional graphical models and the task of (efficient) counting and sampling of graph structures, usin…
