We present an algorithmic approach to estimate the value distributions of random variables of probabilistic loops whose statistical moments are (partially) known. Based on these moments, we apply two statistical methods, Maximum Entropy and…

Probabilistic classifiers output a probability distribution on target classes rather than just a class prediction. Besides providing a clear separation of prediction and decision making, the main advantage of probabilistic models is their…

Through viewing out the literature, many generated distributions took a new special form of probability density function (PDF) in which it is written as a linear combination of n other distributions. Therefore, we define in this paper a new…

In this paper, we give a method to construct "good" exponential families systematically by representation theory. More precisely, we consider a homogeneous space $G/H$ as a sample space and construct an exponential family invariant under…

Diffusion models learn to reverse the progressive noising of a data distribution to create a generative model. However, the desired continuous nature of the noising process can be at odds with discrete data. To deal with this tension…
