Often the algebraic varieties that come up in Algebraic Statistics occur naturally in ambient spaces that are tensor products of many vector spaces. Unfortunately, the dimension of a tensor product grows exponentially with the number of factors, and this can quickly cause computer calculations on these varieties to fail. On the other hand, since their constructions are often so natural, these...
