So the solution for k=3 is...

Clear[mi, obs, p, lp]
mi[k_] :=
   mi[k] = Inverse@Apply[Times, Subsets /@ Tuples[{0, 1}, k], {2}];
obs[k_] := obs[k] = Array[p, {2^k}]
lp[k_] := lp[k] = Log[obs[k]/(1 - obs[k])]

mi[3].lp[3]

{Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])], -Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] +
   Log[p[5]/(1 - p[5])], -Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] +
   Log[p[3]/(1 - p[3])], -Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] + Log[p[2]/(1 - p[2])],
  Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] - Log[p[3]/(1 - p[3])] - Log[p[5]/(1 - p[5])] +
   Log[p[7]/(1 - p[7])],
  Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] - Log[p[2]/(1 - p[2])] - Log[p[5]/(1 - p[5])] +
   Log[p[6]/(1 - p[6])],
  Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] - Log[p[2]/(1 - p[2])] - Log[p[3]/(1 - p[3])] +
   Log[p[4]/(1 - p[4])], -Log[p[1]/(1 - p[1])] + Log[p[2]/(1 - p[2])] +
    Log[p[3]/(1 - p[3])] - Log[p[4]/(1 - p[4])] +
   Log[p[5]/(1 - p[5])] - Log[p[6]/(1 - p[6])] - Log[p[7]/(1 - p[7])] +
    Log[p[8]/(1 - p[8])]}
