The Unified Propagation and Scaling Algorithm
In this paper we will show that a restricted class of constrained minimum divergence problems, named generalized inference problems, can be solved by approximating the KL divergen...

On the Convergence of Bound Optimization Algorithms
Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

A New Image Registration Technique with Free Boundary Constraints: Application to Mammography
In this paper, a new image-matching mathematical model is presented for the mammogram registration. In a variational framework, an energy minimization problem is formulated and a m...

RNA Secondary Structure Prediction Via Energy Density Minimization
Abstract. There is a resurgence of interest in RNA secondary structure prediction problem (a.k.a. the RNA folding problem) due to the discovery of many new families of non-coding R...

TAP Gibbs Free Energy, Belief Propagation and Sparsity
The adaptive TAP Gibbs free energy for a general densely connected probabilistic model with quadratic interactions and arbritary single site constraints is derived. We show how a ...
