Approximate Inference on Planar Graphs using Loop Calculus and Belief Propagation
We introduce novel results for approximate inference on planar graphical models using the loop calculus framework. The loop calculus (Chertkov and Chernyak, 2006b) allows to expre...

Classification Methods with Reject Option Based on Convex Risk Minimization
In this paper, we investigate the problem of binary classification with a reject option in which one can withhold the decision of classifying an observation at a cost lower than t...
