• Perturb+Map Sampling

Parameter learning

• Accelerated proximal gradient

• built-in L1 / L2 regularization

• Support for custom regularization

Structure learning

• Chow-Liu trees

• Soft-thresolding

• High-order clique structures

Misc

• Support for deep Boltzmann tree models (DBT)

• Support for spatio-temporal compressible reparametrization (STRF)

• Runs on x86_64 (linux, windows) and aarch64 (linux)

• Graph drawing via graphviz

• Discretization
