In this paper we investigate characterizations of conditional independence. We describe some conditional independencies through the conditions on t…

We present a new random sampling strategy for k-bandlimited signals defined on graphs, based on determinantal point processes (DPP). For small graphs, ie, in cases where the spectrum of the graph is accessible, we exhibit a DPP sampling scheme that enables perfect recovery of bandlimited signals. For large graphs, ie, …

Determinantal point processes (DPPs) enable the modeling of repulsion: they provide diverse sets of points. The repulsion is encoded in a kernel that can be seen as a matrix storing the similarity between points. The diversity comes from the fact that the inclusion probability of a subset is equal to the determinan…
