We study xpoints of operators on lattices. To this end we introduce the notion of an approximation of an operator. We order approximations by means of a precision ordering. We sho...

Variational methods have proved popular and effective for inference and learning in intractable graphical models. An attractive feature of the approaches based on the Kullback-Lei...
Markov random field (MRF, CRF) models are popular in
computer vision. However, in order to be computationally
tractable they are limited to incorporate only local interactions
a...
This paper introduces a new formulation for discrete image labeling tasks, the Decision Tree Field (DTF), that combines and generalizes random forests and conditional random fiel...

The FastInf C++ library is designed to perform memory and time efficient approximate inference in large-scale discrete undirected graphical models. The focus of the library is pro...
