Binary Bouncy Particle Sampler
The Bouncy Particle Sampler is a novel rejection-free non-reversible sampler for differentiable probability distributions over continuous variables. We generalize the algorithm to piecewise differentiable distributions and apply it to generic binary distributions using a piecewise differentiable augmentation. We illustrate the new algorithm in a binary Markov Random Field example, and compare it to binary Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. Our results suggest that binary BPS samplers are better for easy to mix distributions.
