What Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...

Tight Bounds on the Capacity of Binary Input random CDMA Systems
Abstract-- We consider code division multiple access communication over a binary input additive white Gaussian noise channel using random spreading. For a general class of symmetri...

A Bayesian Network Framework for Relational Shape Matching
A Bayesian network formulation for relational shape matching is presented. The main advantage of the relational shape matching approach is the obviation of the non-rigid spatial m...

On the Convergence of Bound Optimization Algorithms
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

Robust Variance Constrained Filter Design for Systems with Non-Gaussian Noises
In this paper, a variance constrained filtering problem is considered for systems with both non-Gaussian noises and polytopic uncertainty. A novel filter is developed to estimate t...
