The developed sampling mechanism, which draws on theory for directed graphs, is a clever and remarkable achievement, as this has been an open problem for many decades. In this discussion, I comment on important contributions, central questions, and prevailing matters of the article.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-06T17:27:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random convex polytopes", "gibbs sampler", "discussion", "central questions", "algorithmic breakthrough" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
