Expectation Propagation for approximate Bayesian inference
This paper presents a new deterministic approximation technique in Bayesian networks. This method, "Expectation Propagation," unifies two previous techniques: assumed-de...

Improving on Expectation Propagation
A series of corrections is developed for the fixed points of Expectation Propagation (EP), which is one of the most popular methods for approximate probabilistic inference. These ...

Approximate Expectation Maximization
We discuss the integration of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for maximum likelihood learning of Bayesian networks with belief propagation algorithms for approximate i...

A Bayesian Approach to Unsupervised Feature Selection and Density Estimation Using Expectation Propagation
We propose an approximate Bayesian approach for unsupervised feature selection and density estimation, where the importance of the features for clustering is used as the measure f...
