Researchers have developed a novel approach to enhance probabilistic circuits (PCs) by integrating geometric information through Voronoi tessellations. This method addresses the limitation of traditional PCs, which use data-independent mixture weights that hinder their ability to represent local data manifold geometry. The proposed Voronoi tessellation (VT) integration faces challenges with tractability, for which the researchers offer two solutions: an approximate inference framework with guaranteed bounds and a structural condition that preserves exact inference. Additionally, a differentiable relaxation of VT is introduced to facilitate gradient-based learning, with empirical validation on density estimation tasks. AI
