Convergent Message-Passing Algorithms for Inference over General Graphs with Convex Free Energies
Inference problems in graphical models can be represented as a constrained optimization of a free energy function. It is known that when the Bethe free energy is used, the fixedpo...

A tiered move-making algorithm for general pairwise MRFs
A large number of problems in computer vision can be modeled as energy minimization problems in a markov random field (MRF) framework. Many methods have been developed over the y...

(BP)2: Beyond pairwise Belief Propagation labeling by approximating Kikuchi free energies
Belief Propagation (BP) can be very useful and efficient for performing approximate inference on graphs. But when the graph is very highly connected with strong conflicting intera...
