arXiv:2606.00241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Measuring statistical dependency between high-dimensional random variables is a fundamental task in data science and machine learning. Neural mutual information (MI) estimators offer a promising avenue, but they typically require costly iterative optimization for each new dataset, making them impractical for real-time applications. We present InfoAtlas, a foundation model-like architecture that eliminates this bottleneck by directly inferring MI in a single forward pass. Pretrained on large-scale synthetic data with rich dependence patterns, Info
The proliferation of high-dimensional data across scientific and industrial domains necessitates more efficient and scalable methods for understanding complex relationships, pushing the boundaries of traditional statistical analysis.
This breakthrough advances the fundamental capability of AI to interpret vast datasets quickly, accelerating research and development in areas requiring rapid assessment of variable dependencies, from drug discovery to financial modeling.
Traditional iterative approaches for statistical dependency estimation could be replaced by a single, rapid forward pass, making real-time analysis feasible for high-dimensional data where it was previously impractical.
