We propose a new approach to the analysis of Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) by establishing a formula that connects the Hessian of the Bethe free energy with the edge zeta functio...

Recent work (Yedidia, Freeman, Weiss [22]) has shown that stable points of belief propagation (BP) algorithms [12] for graphs with loops correspond to extrema of the Bethe free ene...
