An Analysis of Convex Relaxations for MAP Estimation
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori estimate of a general discrete random field (i.e. a random field defined using a finite and discrete set of labels) is known ...

Efficiently solving convex relaxations for MAP estimation
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...

Quadratic programming relaxations for metric labeling and Markov random field MAP estimation
Quadratic program relaxations are proposed as an alternative to linear program relaxations and tree reweighted belief propagation for the metric labeling or MAP estimation problem...

Lagrangian Relaxation for MAP Estimation in Graphical Models
Abstract— We develop a general framework for MAP estimation in discrete and Gaussian graphical models using Lagrangian relaxation techniques. The key idea is to reformulate an in...

Improved Moves for Truncated Convex Models
We consider the problem of obtaining the approximate maximum a posteriori estimate of a discrete random field characterized by pairwise potentials that form a truncated convex mod...
