What is Smart-Dumb MCMC Algorithm for Clustering about?

1) The paper proposes a new "smart-dumb/dumb-smart" (SDDS) algorithm for efficient split-merge Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). 2) The SDDS algorithm combines two kernels - one with a smart split move and dumb merge move, and the other with a dumb split move and smart merge move. 3) Previous approaches that used only smart split and merge moves did not lead to high acceptance probabilities or rapid convergence due to asymmetry between state spaces. 4) The SDDS algorithm maintains high acceptance rates a
