Duality for Continuous Graphical Models
The dual normal factor graph and the factor graph duality theorem have been considered for discrete graphical models. In this paper, we show an application of the factor graph duality theorem to continuous graphical models. Specifically, we propose a method to solve exactly the Gaussian graphical models defined on the ladder graph if certain conditions on the local covariance matrices are satisfied. Unlike the conventional approaches, the efficiency of the method depends on the position of the zeros in the local covariance matrices. The method and details of the dualization are illustrated on two toy examples.

Duality of Graphical Models and Tensor Networks
In this article we show the duality between tensor networks and undirected graphical models with discrete variables. We study tensor networks on hypergraphs, which we call tensor hypernetworks. We show that the tensor hy…
Tensor NetworksProbabilistic Duality for Parallel Gibbs Sampling without Graph Coloring
We present a new notion of probabilistic duality for random variables involving mixture distributions. Using this notion, we show how to implement a highly-parallelizable Gibbs sampler for weakly coupled discrete pairwis…
BlockingDuality in Graphical Models
Graphical models have proven to be powerful tools for representing high-dimensional systems of random variables. One example of such a model is the undirected graph, in which lack of an edge represents conditional indepe…
Neural Network Parameter-optimization of Gaussian pmDAGs
Finding the parameters of a latent variable causal model is central to causal inference and causal identification. In this article, we show that existing graphical structures that are used in causal inference are not sta…

Duality is the heart of advanced microeconomics. It exists everywhere throughout advanced microeconomics, from the beginning of consumer theory to the end of production theory. The complex, circular relationships among v…
