Inference Algorithms for Similarity Networks
We examine two types of similarity networks each based on a distinct notion of relevance. For both types of similarity networks we present an efficient inference algorithm that wo...

Object-Oriented Bayesian Networks
Bayesian networks provide a modeling language and associated inference algorithm for stochastic domains. They have been successfully applied in a variety of medium-scale applicati...

Learning Switching Linear Models of Human Motion
The human figure exhibits complex and rich dynamic behavior that is both nonlinear and time-varying. Effective models of human dynamics can be learned from motion capture data usi...

Approximate Learning of Dynamic Models
Inference is a key component in learning probabilistic models from partially observable data. When learning temporal models, each of the many inference phases requires a complete ...

Effective Bayesian Inference for Stochastic Programs
In this paper, we propose a stochastic version of a general purpose functional programming language as a method of modeling stochastic processes. The language contains random choi...

A New Object-Oriented Stochastic Modeling Language
A new language and inference algorithm for stochastic modeling is presented. This work refines and generalizes the stochastic functional language originally proposed by [1]. The l...

Graph Partition Strategies for Generalized Mean Field Inference
An autonomous variational inference algorithm for arbitrary graphical models requires the ability to optimize variational approximations over the space of model parameters as well...

First-order probabilistic inference
Most probabilistic inference algorithms are specified and processed on a propositional level. In the last decade, many proposals for algorithms accepting first-order specificat...

Linear-time inference in Hierarchical HMMs
The hierarchical hidden Markov model (HHMM) is a generalization of the hidden Markov model (HMM) that models sequences with structure at many length/time scales [FST98]. Unfortuna...

Description logic reasoning using the PTTP approach
The goal of this paper is to present how the Prolog Technology Theorem Proving (PTTP) approach can be used for ABox-reasoning. This work presents an inference algorithm over the l...
