Algebraic Signatures for Structural Learning in Probability Tensors

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.18817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Algebraic statistics characterizes statistical models through polynomial constraints, but it has mainly been used for analytically specified model classes. This paper studies the inverse problem: identifying probabilistic structure from vanishing binomials observed in empirical probability tensors. We treat the vanishing binomials of a toric model as its algebraic signature, and turn the ideal-variety correspondence of algebraic statistics into an operational procedure for structural learning that identifies a model by signature matching without parameter estimation. By restricting attention to a computationally tractable class of configuration matrices, which we call {\it the Kronecker-stack class}, we make these signatures explicitly enum
