MolHF: A Hierarchical Normalizing Flow for Molecular Graph Generation

IJCAI 2023poster

Molecular de novo design is a critical yet challenging task in scientific fields, aiming to design novel molecular structures with desired property profiles. Significant progress has been made by resorting to generative models for graphs. However, limited attention is paid to hierarchical generative…

A Matrix Chernoff Bound for Markov Chains and Its Application to Co-occurrence Matrices

NeurIPS 2020poster

We prove a Chernoff-type bound for sums of matrix-valued random variables sampled via a regular (aperiodic and irreducible) finite Markov chain. Specially, consider a random walk on a regular Markov chain and a Hermitian matrix-valued function on its state space. Our result gives exponentially decre…
