Rapid mixing in positively weighted restricted Boltzmann machines

Abstract

We show polylogarithmic mixing time bounds for the alternating-scan sampler for positively weighted restricted Boltzmann machines. This is done via analysing the same chain and the Glauber dynamics for ferromagnetic two-spin systems, where we obtain new mixing time bounds up to the critical thresholds.
