  Weighted model counting (WMC) has emerged as a prevalent approach for
probabilistic inference. In its most general form, WMC is #P-hard. Weighted DNF
counting (weighted #DNF) is a special case, where approximations with
probabilistic guarantees are obtained in O(nm), where n denotes the number of
variables, and m the number of clauses of the input DNF, but this is not
scalable in practice. In this paper, we propose a neural model counting
approach for weighted #DNF that combines approximate model counting with deep
learning, and accurately approximates model counts in linear time when width is
bounded. We conduct experiments to validate our method, and show that our model
learns and generalizes very well to large-scale #DNF instances.
