In their work on tractable deduction systems, D. McAllester and later D. Basin and H. Ganzinger have identified a property of inference systems (the locality property) that ensures...
In this paper, we improve and tailor a recent statistical region merging approach to biased (partially supervised) grouping. The approach appears to be attractive both for its the...
This paper reviews algorithms for local computation with imprecise probabilities. These algorithms try to solve problems of inference calculation of conditional or unconditional p...
This paper makes three observations with regard to the application of algorithms such as wsat and relsat to problems of practical interest. First, we identify a specific calculati...
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...
