Context-specific approximation in probabilistic inference
There is evidence that the numbers in probabilistic inference don't really matter. This paper considers the idea that we can make a probabilistic model simpler by making fewe...

A Scheme for Approximating Probabilistic Inference
This paper describes a class ofprobabilistic approximation algorithms based on bucket elimination which o er adjustable levels of accuracy ande ciency. We analyzethe approximation...

Focused Belief Propagation for Query-Specific Inference
With the increasing popularity of largescale probabilistic graphical models, even "lightweight" approximate inference methods are becoming infeasible. Fortunately, often...

What Cannot be Learned with Bethe Approximations
We address the problem of learning the parameters in graphical models when inference is intractable. A common strategy in this case is to replace the partition function with its B...
