ISDE : Independence Structure Density Estimation

Machine Learning 2022-05-06 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we propose ISDE (Independence Structure Density Estimation), an algorithm designed to estimate a multivariate density under Kullback-Leibler loss and the Independence Structure (IS) model. IS tackles the curse of dimensionality by separating features into independent groups. We explain the construction of ISDE and present some experiments to show its performance on synthetic and real-world data. Performance is measured quantitatively by comparing empirical log\log-likelihood with other density estimation methods and qualitatively by analyzing outputted partitions of variables. We also provide information about complexity and running time.
