— Computing the partition function and the marginals of a global probability distribution are two important issues in any probabilistic inference problem. In a previous work, we ...

One of the difficulties in calculating the capacity of certain Poisson channels is that H(), the entropy of the Poisson distribution with mean , is not available in a simple form. ...

We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...
