Hamiltonian dynamics for sampling on discrete spaces
A general class of non-reversible Hamiltonian Monte Carlo dynamics on discrete state spaces is developed, revealing a diffusive-to-ballistic speed-up over reversible samplers, even for heterogeneous target distributions where standard non-reversible methods become diffusive.
