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...

MRF Inference by k-Fan Decomposition and Tight Lagrangian Relaxation
We present a novel dual decomposition approach to MAP inference with highly connected discrete graphical models. Decompositions into cyclic k-fan structured subproblems are shown t...

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 ...
