Geometry-Aware Probabilistic Circuits via Voronoi Tessellations
Probabilistic circuits (PCs) enable exact and tractable inference but employ data independent mixture weights that limit their ability to capture local geometry of the data manifold. We propose Voronoi tessellations (VT) as a natural way to incorporate geometric structure directly into the sum nodes of a PC. However, naïvely introducing such structure breaks tractability. We formalize this incompatibility and develop two complementary solutions: (1) an approximate inference framework that provides guaranteed lower and upper bounds for inference, and (2) a structural condition for VT under which exact tractable inference is recovered. Finally, we introduce a differentiable relaxation for VT that enables gradient-based learning and empirically validate the resulting approach on standard density estimation tasks.

Super-k: A Piecewise Linear Classifier Based on Voronoi Tessellations
Voronoi tessellations are used to partition the Euclidean space into polyhedral regions, which are called Voronoi cells. Labeling the Voronoi cells with the class information, we can map any classification problem into a…
