On Dual Decomposition and Linear Programming Relaxations for Natural Language Processing
This paper introduces dual decomposition as a framework for deriving inference algorithms for NLP problems. The approach relies on standard dynamic-programming algorithms as oracl...

A Comparison of Loopy Belief Propagation and Dual Decomposition for Integrated CCG Supertagging and Parsing
Via an oracle experiment, we show that the upper bound on accuracy of a CCG parser is significantly lowered when its search space is pruned using a supertagger, though the supert...

Variational Chernoff Bounds for Graphical Models
Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual paramete...

Comparison of Two Output Models for the BMAP/MAP/1 Departure Process
—The departure process of a BMAP/MAP/1 queue can be approximated in different ways: as a Markovian arrival process (MAP) or as a matrix-exponential process (MEP). Both approximat...

MIME: Mutual Information Minimization and Entropy Maximization for Bayesian Belief Propagation
Bayesian belief propagation in graphical models has been recently shown to have very close ties to inference methods based in statistical physics. After Yedidia et al. demonstrate...
