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...

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...

On the Concentration of Expectation and Approximate Inference in Layered Networks
We present an analysis of concentration-of-expectation phenomena in layered Bayesian networks that use generalized linear models as the local conditional probabilities. This frame...

Approximate Decomposition: A Method for Bounding and Estimating Probabilistic and Deterministic Queries
In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...

Parallelizing a Convergent Approximate Inference Method
Probabilistic inference in graphical models is a prevalent task in statistics and artificial intelligence. The ability to perform this inference task efficiently is critical in l...
