Inference in Multilayer Networks via Large Deviation Bounds
We study probabilistic inference in large, layered Bayesian networks represented as directed acyclic graphs. We show that the intractability of exact inference in such networks do...

Approximate inference for first-order probabilistic languages
A new, general approach is described for approximate inference in first-order probabilistic languages, using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques in the space of concrete po...

Large Deviation Methods for Approximate Probabilistic Inference
We study two-layer belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr childjparents depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. In larg...
