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...

This paper presents a model and implementation techniques for speeding up constraint propagation. Two fundamental approaches to improving constraint propagation are explored: keepi...
Abstract. This paper proposes to promote constraints to first-class status. In contrast to constraint propagation, which performs inference on values of variables, first-class co...
: The idea of performing model combination, instead of model selection, has a long theoretical background in statistics. However, making use of theoretical results is ordinarily su...
A constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a problem to find an assignment that satisfies given constraints. An interesting approach to CSP is a repair-based method that first gen...
