| | | | Lately I have been making use of a continuous relaxation of discrete random variables proposed in two recent papers: The Concrete Distribution: A Continuous Relaxation of Discrete Random Variables and Categorical Reparameterization with Gumbel-Softmax. I decided to write a blog post with some motivation of the method, as well as providing some minor clarification on... | |

| | | | I just came across a really interesting and simple algorithm for estimating the number of distinct elements in a stream of data. The paper (Chakraborty et al. 2023) is available on arXiv; see this Quanta article (Reference 2) for a layman's explanation. Problem statement Let's state the problem formally. Let's say we are given a... | |

| | Suppose we want to understand under what conditions on $latex B$ we have $latex \begin{aligned} \mathbb{E} B(f(X), g(Y))\leq B(\mathbb{E}f(X), \mathbb{E} g(Y)) \end{aligned}$holds for all test functions, say real valued $latex f,g$, where $latex X, Y$ are some random variables (not necessarily all possible random variables!). If $latex X=Y$, i.e., $latex X$ and $latex Y$ are... |
