Logic, Probability and Computation: Foundations and Issues of Statistical Relational AI
Over the last 25 years there has been considerable body of research into combinations of predicate logic and probability forming what has become known as (perhaps misleadingly) sta...

Dense Message Passing for Sparse Principal Component Analysis
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...

HOP-MAP: Efficient Message Passing with High Order Potentials
There is a growing interest in building probabilistic models with high order potentials (HOPs), or interactions, among discrete variables. Message passing inference in such models...

Approximate parameter inference in a stochastic reaction-diffusion model
We present an approximate inference approach to parameter estimation in a spatio-temporal stochastic process of the reaction-diffusion type. The continuous space limit of an infer...

Learning Gradients: Predictive Models that Infer Geometry and Statistical Dependence
The problems of dimension reduction and inference of statistical dependence are addressed by the modeling framework of learning gradients. The models we propose hold for Euclidean...

From Machine Learning to Machine Reasoning
A plausible definition of "reasoning" could be "algebraically manipulating previously acquired knowledge in order to answer a new question". This definition co...
