Probabilistic Circuits

This repo contains the source code for the website https://arranger1044.github.io/probabilistic-circuits/ which is a curated and reasoned list of papers on probabilistic circuits (PCs), computational graphs encoding tractable probability distributions.

How to contribute

To add, change or remove a paper on the website, please open a pull request!

This site harness Jekyll templates in github pages and their file-based model view. Each paper in the website is associated a markdown file under the _papers folder. Modifications to the key-value pairs in this single file would be reflected to the whole website.

Mandatory keys in a paper description are:

• layout to be left to paper
• ref a string acting as a unique identifier
• title the complete paper title
• date intended as a publication date (only the year matters)
• tags a space-separated sequence of tags to classify the paper (see below)
• authors a string with authors names, separated by comma
• venue the publication venue (conference, journal name)

Optional keys are:

• pdf a link to a publicly readable version of the paper
• code link to the code released with the paper
• abstract the paper abstract, as a single string
• bibtex a string for the bibtex entry

The script dblp_to_md.py is a quick and dirt way to generate a skeleton of a markdown file entry from the condensed bibtex as available from DBLP

Special thanks to Giuseppe Lobraico who taught me how to deal with the ruby stack behind Jekyll.
