Characterizing the set of distributions that can be realized in the triangle network is a notoriously difficult problem. In this work, we investigate inner approximations of the set of local (classical) distributions of the triangle network. A quantum distribution that appears to be nonlocal is the elegant joint measurement (EJM) [Entropy 21, 325 (2019)1099-430010.3390/e21030325], which motivates us to study distributions having the same symmetries as the EJM. We compare analytical and neural-network-based inner approximations and find a remarkable agreement between the two methods. Using neural network tools, we also conjecture network Bell inequalities that give a trade-off between the levels of correlation and symmetry that a local distribution may feature. Our results considerably strengthen the conjecture that the EJM is nonlocal.
