—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...

We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...
It is probably fair to say that exact inference in graphical models is considered a solved problem, at least regarding its computational complexity: it is exponential in the treew...
The paper investigates parameterized approximate message-passing schemes that are based on bounded inference and are inspired by Pearl’s belief propagation algorithm (BP). We st...
